“Many times, the beginning of self-doubt and underachievement in children is an inability to label their emotions. Emotions have names. But not many people (adult included) can call each emotion they have by its name. Labeling an emotion is as important as having it and working on it. When a child is stressed, he needs to be destressed not motivated. If as a parent you are providing motivation instead, you are wrong. A happy child may not be an excited child. Each emotion has its own remedy and provisions. But first, each must be labelled correctly before anything. "How are you feeling?" "What are you thinking about?" "Why do you feel that way?" Questions like this help kids to uncover their emotions. Label them and bring them to light. Look around and you will find that confused souls are usually "hard to read", "hard to see through" and "hard to help". This is because their real emotions are usually hidden far away from themselves and others. Sadly, they sometimes do so badly at labelling their emotions that some just choose big words like DEPRESSION, SADNESS, FRUSTRATION etc. They further confuse themselves and even make their brain emit signals that imitate those big emotions. Confusion sets in.” — Asuni LadyZeal
