Regarding emotions
of girls, the society tends to underestimate them. They are supposed to be
kind, meek, and caring, yet at the same, we want them to be strong, adaptable
and confident.
But what
happens when these expectations do not match with the world of emotions that
girl has inside?
Girls have
feelings like boys do they get happy, excited, sad, angry and afraid. But girls
are raised with the notion that they should not feel a certain way, or should
suppress their feelings which makes them feel guilty, ashamed or even anxious.
Therefore,
how are girls supposed to deal with their emotions? Here are few ways:
Endorse
Their Feelings
Telling girls that their feelings are real, good, and acceptable is important.
Encourage
Emotional Expressions
Provide places
where girls can be allowed to feel and express feelings that they have in a way
that they will not be condemned for.
Model
Healthy Emotional Regulation
