When Big Feelings Feel Too Big

Childhood is full of growth, change, and new experiences but sometimes children need extra support learning how to navigate their emotions, relationships, and challenges.

Children often communicate through their behavior before they have the words to explain what is happening inside. Big emotions, changes in behavior, or struggles at school may be their way of showing they need support.

You May Notice:

✓ Frequent emotional outbursts or meltdowns

✓ Difficulty calming down after becoming upset

✓ Increased worries or fears

✓ Trouble separating from caregivers

✓ Difficulty making or keeping friendships

✓ Changes in behavior at home or school

✓ Trouble expressing feelings

✓ Difficulty with transitions or unexpected changes

✓ Anger that feels bigger than the situation

✓ Increased sadness, withdrawal, or frustration

You're Not Looking for a "Fix" You're Looking for Support

When your child is struggling, it can bring up so many questions. You may wonder if you're doing something wrong, if the behavior is a phase, or how you can help your child feel better.

Therapy is not about changing who your child is. It is about helping them better understand themselves, develop important skills, and have a safe place where they feel heard.

Sometimes children need another trusted adult who can help them make sense of their feelings and experiences.

Supporting Your Child Starts With Supporting the Whole Family

Parents play an important role in their child's growth. While children have their own therapeutic space, parents are an important part of the process.

Parent support may include:

✓ Learning what your child's behaviors are communicating

✓ Building emotional connection

✓ Learning strategies to support regulation at home

✓ Improving communication

✓ Understanding your child's unique needs
