Emotional intelligence begins early. Babies experiences a wide range of emotions as they interact with others and navigate the world and its daily challenges. And somewhere between 2 and 3 years of age, they begin categorizing and labeling these emotions. Check out this little one, shown here at 26... months, demonstrating her basic understanding of 9 different emotions in a little over 30 seconds. It’s pretty obvious that she lives in a home where feelings not only matter - but are discussed. When we help young children label their emotions, we’re doing more than expanding their vocabularies. We’re helping them to make connections between their feelings and behaviors, giving them tools to begin analyzing and regulating their own emotional state. Importantly, as young children come to understand their own emotions they also begin to recognize these emotions in others, leading to the development of empathy. How can you help? Label and discuss your child’s emotions and your own. This emotionally aware little one was shared to TT by jules_james_.show more

Wow! Never knew I could ask roddlers to demonstrate a wide range of emotions. Limiting them to only positive ones isn't right

Dan Wuori2 years ago

For sure. In fact I’d argue it’s just as important, if not more so, to help children label and identify less positive emotions - as this is a first step toward learning to regulate them.

As a therapist, I love to see this mom helping her little one to label her emotions early! ❤️❤️

If your teens and twenties felt emotionally intense, there is a reason. That is when your mind is most focused on status, attraction, and competition. Our emotions—guilt, shame, embarrassment, humiliation—feel unpleasant, but they serve an important purpose. They help regulate behavior. For our ancestors, these emotions pushed people to act in ways that made them more acceptable to others, including potential romantic partners, which in turn increased their chances of having children. Other emotions, such as greed and envy, play a similar role. They are tied to competition and social comparison. Notably, many of these feelings tend to peak during adolescence and early adulthood, when interest in mating and status is highest. That is why the teenage years and early twenties often feel especially intense. Over time, as priorities shift and the stakes change, the intensity of these emotions usually declines.

“That’s not nice. That’s not good…” Let’s talk about the role of language in shaping our thinking. We often think of language development in terms of a child’s ability to communicate with others. But it also plays a transformative role in cognition, helping us to communicate with ourselves and regulate our emotions. In time, language shapes not only what we know and say, but how we think and feel. During the years of early childhood, the acquisition of language revolutionizes young children’s approach to the world. They go from being unable to express their needs and feelings (a frustration that leads to things like crying to biting), to using language to process, communicate and regulate their behavior/emotions. And what a lovely example we have here. Marleigh’s dog Zoey has ripped apart (“eaten”) her stuffed Mickey Mouse toy. Watch how she (with some adult support) uses language to process her frustration and confront the dog. The developing 🧠 at work. Have you seen your child use language to help regulate their feelings (of frustration or otherwise)? 🎥 theyeetbaby IG (which is a great follow)

For rescued elephants, healing goes far beyond medication or simply giving them a space to live. These are deeply social animals who rely on companionship, trust, and emotional connection throughout their lives. That’s why the bond they form with their caregivers is so important. Over time, caregivers become a constant source of comfort and familiarity, understanding each elephant’s personality, routines, and emotions. And in return, the elephants place immense trust in them, looking out for them just as lovingly as they are cared for every single day. In frame: A special moment shared between Pari and her caregiver.

This is the reason why secessionist Somaliland will never be successful with their dreams because of their lies and strongly negative emotions against others. An example of this can be seen in the remarks made by HAG Edna Adan. She encouraged secessionist children to focus on their own future while making inflammatory comments about other Somali children, suggesting they could become terrorists.

Conspiracy but mindblowing: Humans are experiments of higher alien intelligence, trapped on Earth & aliens are harvesting our souls. Moon is an alien base. This "The WHY Files" episode is a masterpiece. The theory suggests that when humans were first created, their alien creators discovered something unique - emotions. While animals are driven by instinct, humans experience a wide range of emotions due to their sentience. However, these emotions come with a cost. The alien creators learned that emotions carry energy, which they can consume for nourishment. Unfortunately, negative emotions are the most nourishing of all, leading to a situation where humans are trapped in a cycle of reincarnation to feed the creators' addiction. The process is allegedly facilitated by a device called the "Soul Cube" or "Soul Recycler" installed on the Moon. This device captures and recycles human souls, forcing them into a never-ending loop of reincarnation. This theory implies that Earth is a "prison planet" where humans are trapped to serve as a food source for the alien creators. The cycle of reincarnation is the machinery that keeps humans in this prison, with the creators feeding on their negative emotions. This idea is supported by John Lear and David Icke, who suggest that this cycle is not a natural process, but rather a trap designed to keep humans in a state of servitude. Full video:

How does language begin? There’s a lot of important growth and development that occurs during the 45 month window from prenatal to age three. But among infancy’s greatest accomplishments is language acquisition. So over the coming week I’m going to dedicate this space to a series of posts on the sequential growth of language, which you may be surprised to learn begins even before birth. As your baby’s hearing activates between 18-20 weeks of gestation, they begin hearing their first sounds: Mom’s heartbeat, digestive rumblings, and voice. As you might imagine, sound isn’t crystal clear in the amniotic sac. (It’s not a perfect comparison, but consider how your own hearing changes under water in a swimming pool. You can still hear, but the sounds are muffled and significantly degraded.) For this and other reasons, your baby isn’t absorbing specific vocabulary at this point, but there’s little question that they are beginning to familiarize themselves with not only the tones/sound of their mother’s voice, but the distinct rhythms and patterns of her native language. We’re still only beginning to understand prenatal learning, but research demonstrates that in the minutes and hours immediately after birth, newborns already recognize their mother’s voice and can distinguish (and prefer) their own native language. That’s right: at birth babies’ brains have already begun organizing themselves around their mothers’ native languages. Pretty remarkable, no? It’s the first step in a miraculous process by which young children acquire complex linguistic ability over a period of just months. As for this precious little one, just minutes old, watch how he calms from a cry to an instant silence when exposed to the clear and familiar sound of his mother’s voice. Tomorrow we’ll look at the earliest forms of vocalization. This beautiful video was shared to YT by @lashaviouskirk9862.

Hannah spoke about Goodbye and described it as a very sentimental song. she shared that they don’t often express their emotions enough to each other, so hearing his perspective through the song meant a lot to her. she felt that both of them have always expressed their feelings more through music, so being able to hear those emotions so clearly was really special. It reminded her of how much he missed her and how much she missed him too. 🥺 she also said she’s truly grateful for Chan’s support

We really need to bring back initiation rites. The presence of a male role model is essential for guiding boys as they grow into respectful men. As an adult man, it is your duty to guide young males in a direction that helps them become independent and capable members of society. This includes teaching them how to control their emotions and channel them toward achieving their personal goals.

This is a great explanation as to why many people can’t admit when they are wrong or when someone else is good at something. They were raised to think it was a threat to their safety. Also, children of narcissistic parents have to regulate the emotions and protect the parent at a very young age. By adulthood it’s up to the child to not repeat the cycle as the monster or the regulator. My survival mechanism was to embrace all my “mistakes” and “shame” and turn it into comedy. With laughter and catharsis I could carry on the role I played as a child to help regulate my manic depressive father. Once I had children I knew I had to grow past some of that and just be regulated, consistent, and a rock not a regulator. I know these cycles very well it’s why I can spot the narcissistic abuse quickly in people. Many of those children took the path of self righteousness, gas lighting, manipulation, and a refusal to ever accept any responsibility. They became the vampire. The best way to handle them is avoidance and to never feed their sickness. And know that they can never be close to you, you can never trust them, and your health and success will make them seethe I’m in a position where I can publicly out them and get them to expose their inner world to their potential victims. So, let me cook….

1. Text Her at Night Women are the most emotionally vulnerable at night. Their distractions are gone, they’re alone with their thoughts, and their emotions become more intense. This is why late-night texts hit differently. It’s the perfect time to create intimacy, deepen the conversation, and escalate sexually without her putting her guard up. The key? Start with emotions, then lead into seduction. Wrong approach: “Hey, what’s up?” This does nothing for her emotions. It’s bland, forgettable, and makes you sound like every other guy in her inbox. Right approach: “You seem like the type who overthinks everything at night… tell me, what’s running through that pretty little head of yours?” This opens the door to her emotions. She’ll either laugh and agree or start revealing her thoughts. Once she’s emotionally engaged, she’ll be more open to flirting and seduction. Women need to feel before they desire. Get her feeling first, then you can build sexual tension.

Mom’s little apprentice.👩🏻‍🍼 As children grow and learn, their play becomes increasingly sophisticated. I’ve written often about how toddlers begin their imaginary play close to home, emulating the important adults in their lives. But, in time, their play becomes less tethered to their day-to-day reality. One key to this transition is the emergence of “symbolic play” - which is just what it sounds like. Beginning around 18-months of age, children begin using one object to represent (or symbolize) another. A wooden block might become a car. A banana could become a telephone. And a shoe can become a baby! I’ve shared a lot of videos on this platform, but few that I’ve loved more than this one - which offers a fantastic snapshot of this transition in action. Occupying herself during a long church service, our hero (age: 2 years, 8 months) engages in some imaginary play - silently emulating the caregiving of her parents, but using a shoe to represent a baby of her own. Notice how attentive and tender she is. It’s just beautiful. In time her play will begin shifting toward more and more fantasy. But for now, that’s one well-attended “baby.” This little mother-in-training was shared to IG by edlainevaunacorrea.

Q: How much should you assist your toddler? A: Only as much as they need to avoid frustration and find success. After 8-12 months of near total dependence, toddlers unlock a whole new world in which they have the language, cognition, and motor skills to begin acting on their own desires. We call this agency. And while it can be a real shift for us as parents (after becoming accustomed to meeting infants’ every need), it’s important to honor your toddlers’ growing independence and allow them the time and space to develop skills of their own. I’m such a fan of this independent little one, who is not only determined to free herself from her car seat - but supremely confident in her ability to do so. Of course toddlers need plenty of adult supervision - to avoid not only physical danger but the very real frustration that comes along with the misalignment of their desires and abilities. But toddlerhood is also a time to begin following your little one’s lead, allowing them the opportunity to work through challenges and, yes, occasionally “worrying about yourself” (as our hero so aptly puts it). Think of it as becoming a trusted advisor, rather than the “do-er” of all things.

It’s NEVER too soon to begin reading to your baby. ⏰ In fact, doing so while your little one is still in utero will begin familiarizing your soon-to-be newborn with the voices of the adults who will comprise their “circle of trust” after birth. Once your baby is born, reading together daily will expose them to rich vocabulary, concepts of print, and to establish reading as both important and pleasurable… all key to their early academic success. I got such a kick out of this little one. It’s clear not only that her parents read to her regularly, but do so with real enthusiasm and expression. What a great feeling it must be for them to watch her mimic their tender moments together. This emergent reader was shared to IG by kidsfam8.
