Emotional regulation affects how people spend their money, time, energy, interact with people, and deal with challenges. Thus, managing emotions is an important life skill that parents should teach from an early age.

In pandemic times where masked people lack emotion, parents need to check in on their children about how they feel. There is happiness, sadness, and anger, and feelings of guilt, uncertainty, excitement, and pride.
In fact, Robert Plutchik, a renowned Professor Emeritus of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, noted that there are 34,000 unique emotions-not all of which are easy to understand and recognize, Self Esteem Awareness pointed out. Plutchik is famous for coining the Wheel of Emotions. He has also conducted studies in emotions, suicide, violence, and psychotherapy.
