Holding Space for Big Feels

My daughter is highly-sensitive and feels BIG feels. Crying is a way that she works through and processes the emotions running through her mind and body.

When Emma cries, my Mama Bear heart wants to help “fix” her problem so she’ll stop crying, but I’ve learned a more skillful way to help her. As uncomfortable as it initially feels to hear her cry, I snuggle her up and let her cry for as long as she needs. I want her to know that her emotions are valid and important.

I found this article, “11 Soothing Things to Say When Your Child is Crying” and it’s an excellent summary of how I've learned to guide Emma with empathy and understanding during her big feels.
