Children are still learning to understand and manage big feelings. Caregivers play an important role in this learning.
Helpful approaches
- Name feelings: “It looks like you're feeling frustrated.”
- Listen first: children feel safer when they feel heard.
- Model calm: children learn by watching how adults handle emotions.
- Keep routines predictable: structure helps children feel secure.
If you are concerned about your child's emotional well-being or behaviour, speaking with a qualified child and adolescent professional can provide guidance tailored to your family.
