In this episode of the Playful Connection Podcast, Eddie Shin will share four simple, yet powerful tips on how to share your own feelings with children and teens, as well as how applying these tips will help strengthen your connection with them.

1. Use “I” Statements
2. Acknowledge Your Own Mistakes
3. Share Feelings in Everyday Moments
4. Be Honest About Difficult Emotions

Sharing your own feelings with children and teens is like giving them a map to navigate their emotional world. Just as a map guides someone through unfamiliar terrain, your emotional openness helps them understand their own feelings and how to express them. This emotional roadmap strengthens your connection, creating a safe space for trust and emotional growth.
