Actively engaging your children in activities focused on learning to label their emotions will provide them with the language they need to express their emotional state with you and to learn coping skills to self-regulate. The first step is to learn to identify the emotion. Get creative! Arts and crafts can be a fun way to explore the various rainbow of human emotion!

Remember to focus on your child's personal interests and strengths to engage them in discussions around infant mental health! Search for activities using their favorite toys and adapt your activities to your child's individual mental health struggles. The more you create an environment that discusses the importance of mental health, the more resilient and open your infant will grow to become.
