VALIDATION
How do families break the stigma that often exists around discussing and expressing emotions? How can families be more encouraging and supportive when family members struggle with emotions, such as feeling left out?
Communicating acceptance: You show others that you care about and accept them
Strengthening relationships: People who show each other acceptance are able to feel more connected and build stronger relationships.
Showing value: You reveal to others that they are important to you when you validate their emotions.
