Strategy-2

Regulating the self-emotions of Parents or Teachers

Children who are exposed to the parental negative emotions indulged in self-blame, low emotion regulation. These children present themselves being sad, depressed, angry, frustrated, indulge in socially unacceptable behaviour, lack emotional competence and inflict self-injury. On the other hand children whose parents present positive emotions, develop or learn effective emotions coping and regulatory skills.

There are studies that have captured the social behaviour of the children at various age levels. These studies have elicited their relation to the impact of emotions on the children during their development period. There are innumerable factors, both intrinsic and extrinsic, that contribute to the development of emotion regulation in the children from infancy through adolescence. Some of social factors that have influence on emotion regulation development, include interactions with parents, teachers, and peers, as well as societal influences like culture and the media.

As said, children imitate their parents. Now, with this background, for a parent to be an effective and adequate emotion socialization agent for their child, they must have sufficient emotional understanding as well as the ability to effectively and adaptively manage their own emotions.
