“coping is not about pretending like you never feel sad, angry, or anxious. Instead, it is about noticing those emotions and responding in a way that helps you more than it hurts you. When parents can label their emotions and then visibly take action to cope, they send the message that it’s okay to have feelings and find appropriate ways to respond.”
