I’ve found that big feelings are easier for kids to handle when they have a way to picture what’s going on inside.

Using simple metaphors can be surprisingly powerful. When a child can say, “My thoughts feel like a tornado” or “I’ve got butterflies in my tummy,” an important regulation tool is building: awareness. They’re noticing it.

This is something I really appreciate about Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Regulation doesn’t have to focus on eliminating hard feelings, but helping kids make space for them in a way that feels safe and manageable.

I’ve seen how these little images can slow things down, helping kids pause, breathe, and be a bit kinder to themselves in the middle of it all.

You don’t always have to fix the feeling. Sometimes, helping your child understand it is enough.

I’d love to know, have any metaphors clicked for your child?

This shift in my practice has been hard to put into words; but it’s changed everything about how I show up as a BCBA.

Moving away from control and toward true autonomy for each child has reshaped the therapeutic relationship. When a child knows their “no” will be respected, that their assent matters, there is a noticeable increase in trust, safety, and willingness to engage.

I’m also seeing how different engagement looks when it’s not driven primarily by external rewards. When I follow the child’s interests and support intrinsic motivation, participation becomes more genuine. It’s about connection and meaningful involvement.

What’s been most impactful is realizing that when I adjust my approach, rather than expecting the child to adapt to me, the outcomes feel more authentic, and the experience is more positive for everyone involved.

This is the kind of work that reminds me why I chose this field.
