What to tell my 2.5 yo when she says "I feel mad/sad"...

... specifically after I've told her something like "it's your little brother's turn," or "it's time to turn off the screen."I've been working with her on expressing her emotions in words instead of crying/tantrums, and she's gotten pretty good at it, even with identifying emotions of other people. However, I'm stuck at trying to figure out the next step beyond identifying the emotion and talking about why she feels that way. How do I get her to develop a coping mechanism besides crying or growling? Ideally, I'd like her to say something like, "Okay, I'm still feeling sad, but I will go and find something else to do."P.S. - I prefer research-based articles or book chapters. If you can point me in that direction, I'd be very grateful! If you want to offer anecdotal answers, I'd enjoy reading those too. Thanks! via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2H1fYbH
