"Helping Little Kids Navigate Big Feelings"

Kids have big emotions; it's natural! But that doesn't make it any easier for us as their caregivers to respond to them in the heat of the moment. Add to the mix the fact that we're all dealing with this times two or three, and it can quickly become overwhelming - for us and our children. We'll discuss strategies for teaching and talking to our kids about their various emotions, practical ways to support them when they're experiencing strong feelings, and ways to respond when they lose control. We'll focus on young and elementary school-age children, and touch on strategies for the littlest ones and teenagers. Sarah will share strategies she has learned both professionally and personally in her experience as a mother of twins herself.
