HAPPY TO SAY THIS ARTICLE STARTS WITH SOME THINGS I'VE FELT INSTINCTIVELY FOR PARENTS WITH THEIR CHILDREN IN RECENT YEARS: IF THEY MAKE THE MEALTIMES A FUN TIME WITH THE LITTLE KIDDIES AND INTERESTING WITH OTHER AGES, IT COULD WEIGH IN FAVOR OF GOOD NUTRITION AND MEET WITH LESS RESISTENCE.

Science-backed Calm Down Strategies for Kids, they will Want to Try, that are Easy, Engaging, and Help them Develop Strong Emotional Regulation Skills.

When it comes to children’s emotional development you’re going to be hard-pressed to find another skill as important (and as predictive of future success) as emotional regulation.

Due to your child’s immature nervous system and still under major construction, developing frontal cortex, it makes sense that they often lack the skills that help them to successfully manage their emotions and feelings (and if you’re being honest, I bet you’d say you’re still working on this particular ability too- even as an adult!).…
