Robin Horvitz Counseling

Big feelings in kids can sometimes come out loud, messy, and hard to navigate.

Underneath those feelings is usually a need for connection, comfort, and understanding.

When our kids have big feelings, sometimes the best thing we can do is be present. 🩵

Ok, child and teen therapists, who has jumped on this squishy craze? My clients are obsessed with these things (and so am I 🤣). The best part is, other than being really cool, they are great for stress reduction, self-soothing, grounding, focus, and so much more... Who knew something so trendy could also be so therapeutic?

Parenting is no joke- and we often put so much pressure on ourselves to get it right. Remember- the perfect parent doesn't exist. Be kind to yourself, be present with your kids, and enjoy the journey.

This is why play therapy makes sense! We don't expect young children to sit on the couch and talk like little adults 🤓

In a world of filters and likes, teens often lose sight of their own identities. Their self-esteem can suffer as a result of constant comparisons with others.

Therapy offers a supportive space where teens can build confidence, process these pressures, and discover who they really are.

If your teen is struggling with comparison or self-worth, support is available. I offer both in-person and telehealth therapy throughout the state of Florida. Call me at 954-287-4221. I am happy to help 🩵

This is what I teach parents every day! Kids aren't born knowing how to regulate their feelings, it is our job as parents to teach them 😌

www.robinhorvitzcounseling.com

Telling a child to “calm down” does not teach them how to calm down.

Young children are not born knowing how to manage anger, frustration, fear, or overwhelm. Their brains are still developing. When emotions become too big, the thinking part of the brain goes offline. In that moment, the child cannot reason, listen, or control their behaviour.

What helps is a calm adult.

When an adult stays steady, speaks gently, and helps the child name what they feel, the child’s nervous system begins to settle. This process is called co-regulation. It is how children gradually learn self-regulation, emotional control, and coping skills.

Over time, children internalise these calm responses. The words we use, the patience we show, and the safety we provide slowly become the child’s own inner voice.

Children do not learn emotional regulation from fear, pressure, or punishment.

They learn it from connection, safety, and calm adults.

For parents who could use some extra support in talking to their children about divorce, these are my favorite books. My top recommendation is The Invisible String, which can be utilized in any situation involving distance or separation from a loved one. It shares a sweet reminder that no matter how near or far our loved one may be, there is always an invisible string of love connecting us to each other.

Clinicians, what are your favorites?
