Back-to-School Reset | Big Feelings Are Part of the Transition Back to school can bring a lot of emotions—excitement, worry, exhaustion and everything in between.
Help your child work through those feelings:
• Ask about the best and hardest part of their day
• Listen before trying to fix
• Let them know their feelings are okay
• Watch for changes in mood or behavior
Sometimes they simply need to know you're there.

Helping Children Connect Feelings + Coping Skills
Name your own emotions and demonstrate healthy ways to use coping skills. This helps model emotional awareness for children.
You can also point out physical cues—such as a tight chest or tense shoulders—and connect them to feelings like worry or frustration.
Then help children identify a healthy coping skill, such as:
• Deep breathing
• Taking a walk
• Getting a drink of water
• Moving to a safe, quiet area
Through consistent modeling, practice, and support, children can continue developing empathy, self-regulation, social awareness, and decision-making skills.
These skills support healthier relationships and more effective responses to challenges.

Supporting Children’s Emotional Literacy
Parents, caregivers, and educators can help children recognize, express, and manage emotions in healthy ways.
Try these strategies:
1. Use feeling words like happy, frustrated, worried, or anxious during everyday moments.
2. Model calm, appropriate emotional expression.
3. Teach coping strategies such as deep breathing, mindfulness, journaling, walking, or taking a quiet break.
4. Use role-play and stories to practice empathy, perspective-taking, and appropriate responses to different emotions.
5. Acknowledge progress when children recognize emotions, express themselves appropriately, or use coping skills.
Small, consistent opportunities to practice can help children develop stronger emotional awareness.

Why Emotional Literacy Matters for Children
Adults strengthen children’s emotional literacy when they model these skills and create opportunities for practice.
Emotional literacy can help children:
• Build relationships
• Cope with stress
• Make thoughtful decisions
• Gain confidence
• Develop a stronger sense of self
• Recognize and respect the emotions of others
These skills can also reduce behavioral challenges by giving children tools to manage anger, disappointment, and anxiety.
Research shows that children with strong emotional literacy often demonstrate stronger academic and interpersonal skills.

Building Emotional Literacy
Emotional literacy can be developed through consistent practices such as:
• Mindfulness
• Journaling
• Naming emotions as they arise
For caregivers and educators, these skills can support stronger relationships, clearer communication, problem solving, and conflict management.
Research indicates that people with higher emotional literacy are also better able to manage stress, build resilience, and experience greater satisfaction in work and daily life.
