Thinking and Feeling

Warning

Your child is continuing to learn how to manage their emotions. All children (and even adults) still need help with emotions from those around them - this is normal. Some people experience very strong or “big” feelings more often and more intensely and need more support from others. This is especially true for those who are neurodivergent, have additional needs, or didn’t experience consistent co-regulation early on. You can find information about supporting your child's mental health and wellbeing below.
