The challenge: Parents want to help their kids manage big feelings, but it can be tough to know where to start.
We’ve heard:
- My kids are dealing with a lot more input from the external world than ever before.
- I have to learn enough about my child’s world to parent them, to be connected, so we can communicate about each others’ life experiences.
- I didn’t get that skillset to do self-calming and dealing with overwhelming emotions for myself, and it makes it hard to guide my kids through it.
