How Kids Process Feelings
Understanding How Your Children Process Feelings
by Amy Egan
I am extremely fortunate to co-lead life coaching groups for women with a dear friend and fellow life coach. Not only is the power of the group amazing and not only do the members learn from the coaches and from each other but we coaches also learn from the members and from the other coach. So what I am going to write about today is something I learned from my fellow coach, Robin.
“Sue”, a mother in one of our groups was bemoaning the fact that her thirteen year old daughter, “Kelly” seemed to share aloud many of her emotions, ideas, worries, hurts and disappointments. It seemed to Sue that he daughter was attempting to download her every thought upon her mother or anyone else who may be in ear-shot and it was driving this mother crazy. It was especially difficult for Sue when her daughter was upset about something.
