When your child experiences an emotion, whether positive or negative, he believes it will last a lifetime.
When he feels joy, it's great, because he enjoys it to the fullest without thinking about the past or the future.
🦸♂️It’s THE SUPER POWER OF THE PRESENT MOMENT that all children have.
But if he is angry, sad, afraid, then he feels stuck, and does not see any way out.
🔥The fire metaphor is appropriate because:
✔️Fire burns quickly, but it can also go out very quickly
✔️It burns instantly, then leaves smoke, but the smoke dissipates and no trace remains
⭐️PRO TIP⭐️
When your child is calm, light a candle and ask him to blow on it or water it to put it out. Then ask him to tell you when he no longer sees any smoke.
Then explain to him how anger is like fire:
It burns, you can put it out, you can still smell it a little, then like smoke, after a while, there's nothing left.
