Have you ever used one of these invalidating phrases with your child? It's OK. Here are some healthier ways to respond to your child's difficult emotions.
Parents may unintentionally invalidate their child's feelings because they have forgotten how innocent and naive a child's mind is.
Acknowledge your child's fear with phrases like, "I can understand how that might be scary," or "It's okay to feel upset." The parent is thinking,"Jump already. You will love it! I was scared of diving boards once too but I learned it wasn't so bad."Without intending to, the parent is completely invalidating the child's perspective of the situation. Through this invalidation, the child may start thinking,"What is wrong with me. I must be stupid to be scared. My mom/dad is so mad at me right now." Not exactly what the parent intended is it?"Don't worry about it.
