For Parents
Dear Parent,
Kids have BIG feelings! That's normal. Helping children deal with their feelings and other people's feelings is one of the most important jobs we parents do.
The secret to raising emotionally healthy children is using the moments when feelings get heated in your family as learning opportunities.
Create
an atmosphere where feelings are accepted and embraced.
Listen
and help your child verbalize their feelings.
Talk
about your own feelings with your child.
Separate
behavior from feelings.
To see more helpful tips from
parents and professionals check out our Flower Feelings Blog.
We would love to hear from you about ways that you have used
the Flower Feelings in your home and what kind of results you are
getting.
Parents of Autistic Children
Emotional development toys have proven to be a worthwhile investment for parents of autistic children. Flower Feelings learning toys have successfully helped children with autism recognize facial expressions and correctly identify the corresponding emotion.
We, at EI Kids, are dedicated to providing useful tools to parents and teachers that will help children on the autism spectrum assimilate into the classroom. In fact Cynthia Ogle, one of the Flower Feelings creators is an Inclusion Specialist and is dedicated helping classrooms become a more functional place for all children.
Our Flower Feelings Blog has articles about autism that you can find by clicking here.
If you have any suggestions or an experience that you would like to share with us about your autistic child's social emotional learning please do!
