My son was sooo sad yesterday and he could not figure out why. We talked for a while too, and I told him its okay to feel this way sometimes, he is fine today, but I am glad that we are not following our parents, but communicating w/our kids in a much much better way !

I have actually used those exact words, "Get Happy" to my six year old. It's truly not that I want him to switch from mad to giggling in a split second. What I meant was to try to adjust to the situation, but there's no way he could know that. Thanks for writing a post that makes me realize my fault so I can work on it. :) Hey, I’m actually here from WW too, but I had to say thank you for this post.

I am one of the people who have no clue how to express my feelings, well some of the times. I was raised by my dad and maybe typical men at those days they didn't like to talk nor express their feelings and I found it difficult to do so. I have learnt though throughout the years and I think I am getting much better now. I don't always able to talk my feelings straight away because I'd be overwhelmed by them for quite sometimes, but I have learnt to settle down and finally be ready to talk about it, whether I'm mad, sad or hurt. Your children are lucky that you are there to teach them understanding that it's okay to experience different feelings and it's okay to talk about something upsetting in a civil way. I have a two-year-old toddler and it's been one of my goals to let her express her feelings and help her understand and deal with them. It's a great posting that you share here, sorry for my soo long comment :D Have a great week! Hi, just dropped by from WW page..
