Makaton to communicate: "Angry".

Makaton to communicate: "Angry". We went out for lunch and Elyza only wanted to run around in the restaurant, and we did not allow her to do so and got annoyed, so much so that we had to take turn to eat and ended up leaving early with take-aways. As I met Elyza outside of the restaurant after her n-th walk around to calm herself down, she surprised me by communicating with me sharing her emotions. She pulled me closer to her, and Makaton signed angry to let me know she was angry. At that moment, I was so shocked that she was communicating her emotions that I totally forgotten my own frustration of a ruined family lunch out.

Sometimes we can have a million questions trying to overcome the frustration of a frustrated situation, continue asking ourselves what went wrong, why did it not work out this time, how could I have better managed it all, what did I do wrong, are there magical solutions, etc ... but from experience, I have learned one thing: keep your zen, deal with the current situation, see the positive, do not dwell on the negative, embrace little achievements, ...

And of this bad situation, I retained that my daughter attempted to communicate with me to share her emotions.
