This episode is an excerpt from the kids program I created, Emotional Support for Kids. It applies to children old and young :)

Do you struggle to feel comfortable when people are feeling big emotions? If that's you, take a listen to find out how you can create some ease within your Self.

Remind yourself: a new reality!

1. I’m allowed to be happy even when other people aren’t.
2. I’m allowed to be sad even when other people aren’t.
3. They don’t have to be happy just because I’m happy.
4. I don’t have to be happy just because they’re happy.
5. People feel all different sorts of emotions.
6. I’m allowed to feel my own emotions, and they’re allowed to feel theirs.

Write it down. Focus your thoughts on it. Repeat it out loud.

When you start to feel really uncomfortable around emotions, you can take a pause and breathe intentionally. Breathe in deeply through your nose, hold your breath for a few seconds and then breathe out slowly through your mouth with pursed lips.

You can also step away and create space for yourself.

Remind yourself: I’m allowed to feel things that other people don’t feel, and they’re allowed to feel things I don’t feel. Everybody is allowed to feel their own emotions. We don’t all have to feel the same emotion at the same time!
