1 Year Old Behavior – The Start of Big Emotions

Understanding 1-Year-Old Behavior

At Holly Katz Performance Coaching, we specialize in helping parents and caregivers navigate the complex world of 1-year-old behavior and emotional development. The first year of a child's life is filled with incredible growth and milestones, and now, as your little one enters toddlerhood, you may be noticing significant changes in their behavior.

1-Year-Old Emotional Development

During this stage, one of the biggest developments your child will experience is the emergence of their emotions. Their capacity to express joy, frustration, anger, and even fear starts to become more apparent. These newfound emotions can often lead to challenging experiences for both the child and the caregiver.

Recognizing Big Emotions

As your 1-year-old begins to grapple with their emotions, it's important to remember that they may not yet have the language skills to express themselves clearly. This can lead to tantrums, meltdowns, and a general sense of unease. Understanding and recognizing these big emotions is crucial in order to support your child through this phase.

Dealing with Tantrums and Meltdowns

Tantrums and meltdowns are common during this stage as your child tries to navigate their newfound emotions. At Holly Katz Performance Coaching, we provide effective strategies to help you manage and cope with these challenging moments. By creating a nurturing and supportive environment, you can help your child develop healthy emotional regulation skills.

The Role of Communication

Effective communication plays a vital role in supporting your child's emotional development. While they may not yet have a full vocabulary, they can understand and respond to your tone of voice, facial expressions, and body language. Being mindful of how you communicate with your child can foster a stronger connection and help them feel more understood.

Creating a Safe and Supportive Environment

As a caregiver, it's important to create a safe and supportive environment where your 1-year-old can explore their emotions without judgment or shame. Providing plenty of opportunities for play, creativity, and self-expression can help your child develop a healthy relationship with their emotions.
