Thee Fraternity LIVE - Building Deep Bonds w/our Kids through Emotional Labeling

How do we build deep bonds with our kids? 

Is it by playing with them at the park? Taking them to their favorite restaurant? Buying them their favorite toy? 

While it's good to be aware of our kids' love languages, the research shows that the #1 way to build deep bonds with our kids is by helping them process their emotions in difficult situations. 

In this episode the men in our Fraternity discuss the importance of building deep bonds as fathers, and reflect on the do's and don'ts of helping our kids label their emotions. 

We also look at the analogy of "the sprinkler" i.e. times when our kids are surprised by negative circumstances, and are overwhelmed by emotion. 

You will learn about the 3 phases that our child's brain goes through during and after the sprinkler, and how to tactfully be a calming presence, allow them to cool off, and then provide logical feedback to help them process and grow. Doing so will create deep emotional bonds that will elevate our relationships with our kids for years to come!
