EXPRESSING YOURSELF WITHOUT WORDS Self Expression before Emotional Language Development

hi friends i'm hank the health hero welcome back to my youtube channel yeah so talking with all of you last week really helped me feel better it feels so nice when people listen to you but sometimes don't know the right words to say as kids we're still learning all about the words we need to know to talk about our thoughts and feelings like the other day here in my bedroom was trying to build the world's largest block tower it was going to be as tall as the ceiling but kept knocking it over and couldn't get it to stand up and so what one of my fault when my tower kept falling didn't know what to say because sometimes my brain can't come up with the words need to say for how i'm feeling or what i'm thinking so had to find other ways to express myself well first walked out of my room to get away from that tower because it kept falling over and my face felt really hot and my body was okay calm down hank we got this then went to the kitchen where keep all my art supplies to express how i'm feeling love to draw in paint and they make little clay figures here here's the picture drew my tower when it kept falling over used lots and lots of colors like red and that's how my face felt like all hot and red and used lots of red so drew my face and it definitely matched how felt after drew my picture felt better getting that red hot energy out of my body showed my mom my picture and she helped me talk through how i'm feeling she helped me realize that was feeling little bit angry little bit scared and little frustrated she helped me learn some of the words can use to express myself but sometimes need to express myself don't feel like making art so try something else like dancing to music music is amazing because there's music for every single emotion you feel when am sad listen to sad music so don't feel so alone and then like to listen to happy music and dance my heart out because it cheers me up and makes me feel alive there's also music for when you're angry or when you're scared or when you're confused there's music for every emotion we should have dance friday that was lot of fun making art and dancing aren't the only things you can do to express yourself though one of my other favorite ways to express how i'm feeling without using words is pretend to be an animal can make animal noises and move like an animal too can be any animal want sometimes i'm sad crying elephant and sometimes i'm an angry frustrated hippo right now feel like happy smiley hub lying in the sun it's important to keep learning words to use to share how we feel use my motion spinner to help me learn emotion words also used pictures that my mom took of me showing all the different emotions talking with her about how and feeling also helps lot because she helps me work through my emotions and understand them better yeah we even practice every morning at breakfast my mom asks how i'm feeling then take timeless to my body and my heart and answer her today my body is wiggly and warm and i'm feeling calm and happy even though i'm still learning all the words and need to share how i'm feeling there are lots of ways we can express ourselves if we don't use our words yet make some art listen to music dance and move your body act like an animal and talk with grown-ups that love you they can help us understand our emotions and learn whole lot of new emotion words well my friends it's time for me to go but i'll talk with all of you soon subscribe to my youtube channel to keep up with me and my healthy adventures bye bye friends take care until next time you
