Instructions
A  little  screen  time  almost  always  works  to  calm  kids  down.  But    with  digital  devices  may  lead  to  more  problems  with  emotional  reactivity  down  the  road.  There  are  two  problems  with  distracting  with  media:  it  takes  away  an  opportunity  to  teach  the  child  about  how  to    to  difficult  emotions,  and  it  can  reinforce  that  big  displays  of  their  difficult  emotions  are  effective  ways  to  get  what  they  want.  Instead  of  punishing  their  expressions  of  frustration,  anger  or  sadness  with  a  time-out,  it  can  be  a  good  idea  to    a  comfy  place  for  kids  to  collect  their  feelings  --  maybe  something  with  beanbags  or  blankets  or  a  tent.  But  sometimes  talking  about  emotions  are  too  abstract  for  preschool-age  kids,  and  in  those  cases  Radesky  recommended  using  color  zonesto  talk  about  emotions.  Calm  and  content  can  be  green;  worried  or    can  be  yellow;  and  upset  or  angry  can  be  red,  using  graphics  or  images  of  faces  to  help  kids  match  what  theyre  feeling  with  what  color  zone  they  are  in.
