Counselor's Corner

Dear Byam families,

Children of all ages can have big feelings and difficulty managing their emotions. For some kids this can show up as tantrums and outbursts. We call this “emotional dysregulation”. There are lots of calming techniques parents and caregivers can model and teach kids to help them better regulate their emotions. Below I am sharing a link to an article for parents and caregivers from the Child Mind Institute called, “How to Help Children Calm Down,

Techniques for helping kids regulate their emotions and avoid explosive behavior”, by Caroline Miller. I hope this article may offer some insights and ideas for supporting your children at home.
