Hello, dear friends at
@holos.lotu Greetings and blessings. Today I’d like to share a thought that came to me after a visit with my son’s pediatrician—one that has kept me reflecting on how truly important it is to start managing our emotions from a young age. Even though it might seem like something we could learn to do over time, it’s actually better to start when we’re young—not because we’re bothered by people saying that child is spoiled or anything like that, but because it can affect so many things, especially at an age when controlling them is impossible.
This topic came up after my son was evaluated. Of course, at that age it’s normal to lose control, but with support, advice, and some exercises, you can help him and, to some extent, prevent it from affecting him in the future—and that’s certainly the case. These days, with the news we see—for example, a man went to a park and killed someone just because they gave him a dirty look, which sounds exaggerated but happens, or a car accident where one driver accidentally hit another and the other retaliated by shooting him, or a woman—this news was recent—the mother-in-law who killed her daughter-in-law because she claimed she was separating her from her son— What really causes that?
We might think of a situation where a person is mentally ill and needs psychological help, and yes, part of that is that they need professional help, but is that all there is to it? If we reflect on and analyze the environment and the situation, it all stems from when we were young—from the belief that because a child throws a tantrum or acts out, we should just let it slide. Ultimately, that’s not the case; it’s not about stepping in and, of course, hitting them to control them. It’s about paying attention and understanding what’s bothering them, how they’re feeling, and how they can best express themselves. It’s certainly not easy, but how important it becomes to learn to build a foundation from a young age so that when we reach adulthood, it doesn’t affect us so strongly./div>

Emotions can sometimes be a box full of surprises—not all of them pleasant— but that’s exactly why we need to help ourselves the moment we feel like everything is spiraling out of control, when nothing seems to make sense—so we don’t let some minor thing cause us to snap or make someone else feel bad. If we start helping ourselves from a young age, things can definitely be different in the future—or at least somewhat better. Because if something else is causing the loss of control, well, that’s a matter for professional help, but at least when it comes to emotions, we can start at home.

Thank you very much for reading. I hope you enjoy it. I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have, and if you’d like to know more about me, here are my:
