Parent Guide to Responding to Big Feelings
Your children’s ability to manage big feelings like sadness, anger, fear, and stress will change with their age and stage but requires practice over time to cultivate healthy skills. When children are young, they are not yet able to self-manage emotions and they depend on adults around them to help them calm down and understand their emotions. As they grow older, they will be able to better self-regulate when they have had modeling from adults around them and opportunities to practice.
