Especialmente para los niños, dice, la calma se enseña mejor a través de demostraciones.“Estoy en medio de la crianza de dos niños pequeños de 4 años, y pienso en cuando están ansiosos, decir ‘cálmate’ es lo peor que le puedes decir a un niño de 4 años y medio”, dijo Romer recientemente en el podcast “Opportunity Divide” de Guild, en un episodio con la investigadora de liderazgo Brené Brown y el psicólogo organizacional de Wharton Adam Grant.Brown y Grant estuvieron de acuerdo. Decir “cálmate” no valida las emociones del niño ni lo ayuda a comprender sus sentimientos, e incluso, sin querer, puede parecer desdeñoso, dijeron.Manejar una emoción como la ansiedad es una tarea compleja...
