के तपाईलाई आफ्नो छोरा/छोरी हरु भनेकै मान्दैनन भन्ने लाग्छ ? Do you feel that you are struggling or having difficulties to deal with your child?

Many adults (parents) feel that they are not able to deal with their children. You feel that your children do not understand you, or your children are too difficult to deal with.        Here, I am giving you five tips that I want you to try with your child.     Come down to the level of your children. Try to see things and situation from your child's age and their intellectual level. Try  to  validate  children's feelings. Do not always question and reject  your  child's  feelings . Look, whatever they are going through or their situation,  it is  real for  them. Their  feelings are real. Try to  validate  their feelings and emotions.

A Theory of Emotion

People respond negatively to pain or any negative emotion. Pain might also hinder development of emotions because it isn’t encouraging. The right factors need to be applied to someone in order to get them to experience the fullest potential of their emotions. This could simply mean having the right people around you who are supportive of you and your emotions. In fact, the words “thrive” and “support” are really key for emotion generation.
