🌟 If You Can’t Manage Your Emotions, You Can’t Expect to Manage Your Child’s 🌟

Parents and caregivers play such a powerful role in helping children learn how to express and manage their emotions. 💛

When a child feels angry, sad, or distressed, they look to you for cues on how to respond. By staying calm in those tough moments, you show them that their big feelings are safe — and that you can handle them together. 🤝

Yes, it can be challenging — but your calm presence is exactly what reassures your child and teaches them that emotions are manageable, not scary. 🌿

✨ Try these simple techniques:
🌬 Take a few deep breaths before responding – this helps regulate your own nervous system and keeps you grounded.
🗣 Use a calm, reassuring tone – even if your child is crying or yelling, your steadiness sends the message: you’re safe, I’ve got you.
💬 Name the emotion – “It looks like you’re really frustrated right now.” This helps your child feel seen, understood, and start to learn about their own emotions.

Remember — calm is contagious. 💕

🌱 Set Realistic Expectations 🌱

Every child grows and develops at their own pace — and for children who have experienced trauma, this journey can look a little different. 💛

Sometimes, they may regress in certain areas — like a toilet-trained child suddenly having accidents again. This isn’t “bad behaviour,” but a sign they need extra comfort, reassurance, and support. 🤗

It’s important to set expectations that match your child’s age, stage, and experiences. Keep boundaries clear, but make them flexible and compassionate — meeting your child where they’re at emotionally and developmentally. 💕

Let’s nurture growth through understanding, not pressure. 🌼

🌈 Expressing Emotions 🌈

It’s so important for children to learn how to recognise and express their feelings in healthy ways. From a young age, kids are constantly learning from parents, caregivers, friends, TV, and even social media — so every interaction matters! 💬

Instead of dismissing a child’s emotions (“there’s no reason to be upset” or “you’re just tired”), try acknowledging what they’re feeling:
💛 “You seem really sad right now.”
💛 “I can see that was really hard for you.”

When children feel heard and understood, they’re much more likely to calm down and work through their emotions in a positive way. 💫

Let’s help our little ones build emotional awareness and resilience — one conversation at a time. 💕

We work with children, teenagers, adults and couples to problem solve and find strategies that work for you.

Below are some fantastic ideas aimed at children, but that work for any age! What is your favourite grounding strategy, that brings you back from over-thinking to right here and right now?
