Primary aged children are starting to get better at managing their own emotions. They can talk more easily about how they are feeling. They are more able to take on board advice and techniques to help them. From around age 7-11 memory and concentration grows. Children can think more quickly and can remember more than one thing at a time. They are enthusiastic learners and enjoy doing things with you. They will be developing strong opinions and will ‘argue back’ and want to do things their way! It can take practise for you both to manage this together without upsets. Dive Deeper Select an optionSupporting Development Children often use the way they behave to show you how they feel. Behaviour is still a big part of the way children this age communicate feelings. If your child is behaving in a way that worries you – trying to work out how they are feeling can help you work out how best to help them. Helping your child find the words to describe how they feel will help them to be able to use these, rather than relying on behaviour to show you they are struggling.
Be A Good Role ModelBe a good role model and talk about your own feelings and show how you cope with them. Take time to listen to your child when they try to explain to you how they feel. It takes practise to recognise and name feelings. Having you to listen calmly will give them confidence to open up and share. Keeping to boundaries and rules is important for children this age. Although they may push for more freedoms and have strong opinions they still need the security of knowing you are ‘in charge’ and will keep them safe. They will enjoy being able to make choices when possible. Give them the chance to talk about what they think and come to decisions together when you can. This way they can practising listening to another’s points of view and finding a way to move forward. The online ‘Online Solihull Parenting Course’ is available free to Norfolk Parents.
