Babies are born with immature brains; they do not have the neurological or cognitive ability to reason and think as an adult mature brain can. 👶 🧠 🤔

Did you know that 90% of brain maturation happens by around 6 years old? This is why managing their emotions in early childhood is so hard! 🙁😡 😭 😱😴
Young children are dependent on their parents, family members, teachers and caregivers to develop the necessary skills to become independent and live a healthy, successful life ❤️💪🤩
While they are learning, for no apparent reason, they will tantrum which is a form of communication. They may roll around kicking and screaming so loud – without any care of concern for the neighbors or shoppers and you know what? It is ok! 👍🏻 ✅

During early childhood, they are learning so much. When we understand that it is part of expressing their needs and desires, we can then:

❤️Teach them how to manage their emotions
❤️Be there, offer comfort when they cry 🤗😘
❤️Allow them the opportunity to experience making better choices using positive discipline strategies that teach✅, punishments do not 🚫
❤️When young children are overwhelmed by big emotions, it is our responsibility to model calm and not join in the chaos🤗
❤️Remember they are growing and learning. Behind every behavior is a need that is expressed 😍
