Various forms of discomfort are a natural part of life

Various forms of discomfort are a natural part of life. Allow your children to experience them. Help them to develop strategies to master themselves, even when confronted with difficult things.

Do not over protect them from reality.

Let them master discomfort.

Physical pain: They will get hurt, fall down, skin their knees, scrap with friends, etc. You can also do wall sits and farmers walks with them to induce harmless pain from muscle fatigue.

Encourage them to push through. Do not exaggerate. Teach them deep breathing for pain.

Emotional Pain: Children are sensitive and can easily have their emotions hurt by small things.

Deeply connect with your children. Be their rock. Teach them to develop a strong sense of self. Teach them how to regulate their emotions (first you need to know how to do this).

Social discomfort: Standing up for themselves to peers and authority figures, public speaking, making friends, talking to strangers, etc can all cause social discomfort.

Teach them to master social situations. Ensure that they have plenty of opportunities to improve.
