A Time to Talk
Grown-ups work together to help Elmo manage big feelings with care.
In this video, Elmo shows how taking time to talk and listen helps grown-ups support children’s big feelings. When caring adults work together, even tough moments can become chances to connect and learn. Watch this video and consider:
- Have you noticed times when your child has had big feelings like that?
- When thinking about transitions or excitement at the end of the day, what’s one small thing that might help children?
- Consider some of the responses Elmo’s teacher and parent shared. What might you consider trying?
