Teach them to be emotionally intelligent: Children’s emotional health lies at the heart of their ability to regulate their emotions in an efficient manner, which allows them to be flexible, happy, and resilient. Educate them on labelling their emotions so they can deal with them without feeling overwhelmed.

Never tell your kids that they should not feel negative emotions and never disregard them feeling negative emotions. Rather, use it as a way to create a safe space for them to heal and grow.
  6. Nurture your children: Children these days are emotionally neglected, which affects them in the long run. Do not dismiss them as being too emotional. Learn to emotionally be present for your children with love, affection, empathy and spend more quality with them.
