[quote=Anonymous]“I know you’re upset, sweetheart. When you can use words, let’s talk about what happened.” I empathize with the amount of emotion, without encouraging it to last. Once they’re calm, I tease out what happened and how they felt. A preschooler who bursts into tears that often does it because they don’t know what their emotions are in the moment or they’re so overwhelmed that they can’t handle it. The best option (ime) is to discuss, then role play how they would feel and how to handle it next time. It takes a ton of time and patience, but it eventually works.[/quote]
