[quote=Anonymous]Several things to do - focus on being her emotion coach. This means provide a lot of emotion language through I messages (your emotions), empathy (her emotions) and others emotions. Each time label the emotions and talk about the causes and consequences of emotions. Read about emotions - Today I Feel Silly, My Many Colored Days, How Are You Peeling, On Monday When it Rained, Wemberly Worried, When Sophie gets Really, Really Mad, Baby Faces. Read and discuss each. Focus on teaching her social skills (this often goes hand in hand). Good resources - Raise Your Child'S Social IQ by Cohen and Playground Politics by Greenspan. Might think of a social skills group, there are many providers int he area. Invite kids over and sign her up for social based activities for her to get social practice. Expect you may have to coach her through. [/quote]
