Raising emotionally strong and resilient children hinges on small, everyday habits and effective conflict repair, rather than extensive time or perfect parenting. Experts emphasize that children learn emotional regulation by observing adults, who can model self-awareness by naming their own feelings and managing reactions. Acknowledging and validating a child's emotions, even negative ones, helps them understand that feelings are acceptable, fostering self-regulation and future problem-solving skills.
