When your child forgets something important, how do you experience and label your emotions? (emotional granularity)
I just feel “bad” but can’t explain why.
I feel annoyed but don’t know if it’s at myself or them.
I feel frustrated, maybe a little worried, but it’s not clear what’s stronger.
I feel annoyed that it creates inconvenience, worried about their patterns, and slightly guilty for not reminding them.
I can identify annoyance from disruption, worry about their development, guilt for not stepping in earlier, and sadness because I want to see them succeed.
