So I might say to that child, if it was my child
And when you feel scared, I I can see that you have your eyes are wide.
And um you look scared in your face and I wonder how you feel scared in your body.
Um, does your stomach have butterflies? 'Cause I know when I get scared I feel butterflies in my stomach.
How about you?
And and I can see you look like you're kind of hot.
Um, so sometimes people's hands get sweaty when they get scared.
Um and that gives the opportunity for your child to connect.
Their feelings.
with the sensations they have inside their bodies and later with the way they're thinking.
I'm scared and I don't want to go outside because I'm scared that I might get coronavirus.
So that's
the first real step when you listen to your child to be able to identify and validate their emotions.
And the problem solving and actually thank you also for raising
The question about whether we need to problem solve all the time, not at all.
Um, there are quite a few examples in the book where there's no problem solving.
However, I do think it is important to end a conversation about a scary event.
With hope.
Because when we get overwhelmed and we feel powerless
Um, we can easily get sucked into a cycle of just feeling worse and worse.
