from The Whole-Brain Child: 12 Revolutionary Strategies to Nurture Your Child's Developing Mind, Survive Everyday Parenting Struggles, and Help Your Family Thrive by Daniel J. Siegel
How to Apply This
- ** Help your child understand the power of their mind.**
Help them recognize that the thoughts and feelings giving them trouble are simply different aspects of themselves. - ** Teach them to focus on the hub.**
The hub of the wheel of awareness is the inner place of the mind from which we become aware of all that's happening around and within us. - ** Teach them to focus on other rim points.**
These include their confidence in their abilities, the belief that they are smart, their desire to relax and have fun, etc. - ** Introduce the concept of the "windshield of awareness"**
Explain to your child the different thoughts and emotions they are feeling. You may also ask questions to better understand what they feel.
