Recognize is not always to know what you want, but also to know what happened with you at that moment. When you feel something that has not usually happened to you, you know what's going on with you.
For instance, at noon, you feel like you always wanted to get angry with everyone even when someone just makes a little mistake. Whereas, you know you're not a person like that. Then you get yourself after getting lunch, you become normal again.

Being self-aware simply means that you’re able to recognize and label your feelings.
For example, when children learn to speak, they usually need to be given the vocabulary first, so if your son is angry because you’re not letting him have candy before dinner, he’ll know...
A question as simple as "How did you feel?" can help them feel that you share in their experience.
Empathize with them instead of offering positive cliche's. For instance, say "That sounds rough. Tell me what happened," instead of "You'll get past it."
