Jenna's Mastery Course <click to-register: open NOW>
Class starts Oct 1, 2024
Aaron & Jenna interview their 7 year old daughter, Rosie- to talk about their habits as a family around teaching their kids about to be aware of their emotions.
Habits we chat through

• doing the Emotion Wheel as a family @ dinner: Download your free copy here
• our emphasis on "you can connect with their sad & it doesn't mean you're bad."
• Rocket Ships: visual pictures we give them to give words to how they're feeling when overwhelmed with emotions
• different approaches for our kids with different personalities
• we remind them as their emotions are rising- we're here to help if they'd like some solutions
• they can feel angry/sad/hurt/etc... but there are consequences if they make messes IN/through their emotions

Goal for our family with teaching them emotional awareness: not an instant fix, at this point in our journey not a lot of behavior modification with it- but we see value in helping them learn this language so they can learn how to softly express their emotions in a way that invites connection.
Their emotions don't control what we do or excuses messes they make. It's helpful for them to be able to identify them feel heard & for us to be "with them" in their pain.

Did you know most people give up their Bible Reading plans before February?
