You might have noticed it… more tears, more frustration, more big emotions over small things. And it can feel confusing- especially if things seemed “fine” before.
But what if this isn’t regression? What if this is release.
Children often hold things in when they’re unsure, overwhelmed, or still processing what’s happening around them. And then… when they feel safe again- it comes out.
Not because something is wrong. But because their nervous system is finally ready to let go.
This is part of regulation. So in those moments, instead of trying to stop the emotion… we gently shift to supporting it.
Staying close, staying calm, letting them feel, without needing to fix it.
Because safety isn’t the absence of big emotions, it’s knowing someone is there to hold you through them 🤍
