What New Parent Don't Know: Emotional management as a new parent

Happy, sad, annoyed, ecstatic, incensed, and disappointed. Calm. These are just a handful of the many emotions that influence how we live our lives every day. Our conduct is influenced by our emotions, which are fundamental to the human experience. We all go through a spectrum of emotions, and they have a significant impact on our life from birth. We exhibit a basic set of emotions, such as joy, sorrow, anger, surprise, and disgust, beginning in infancy. We continue to feel these feelings throughout infancy and adulthood, becoming more sophisticated and nuanced as we mature, such as with shame, hope, and guilt.

To determine a young kid's likes, dislikes, desires, and needs, parents and caregivers may learn to read their emotional signs. If they are perceptive and receptive to these cues, they can help their child control their emotions.

For instance, a parent may feed and rock a wailing baby to quiet it down, or they may cuddle and speak calmly to a toddler to calm him down. This process of controlling a child's emotions is known as external regulations. As early childhood develops, children start to transition from depending only on external regulation (such as a caregiver hugging them) to acquiring their internal emotion management skills (taking a deep breath to calm themselves down on their own). The word "emotion regulation" refers to both internal and external mechanisms that enable a person to keep track of, assess, and adjust their emotional responses.

Research demonstrates that children who have strong emotion regulation skills are more likely to have positive relationships with peers, perform better academically in the short and long-term, and transition into later grades more smoothly. As a result, developing emotion regulation (and in particular, internal regulation ability) is an important milestone for children.
