Ever wondered why some children melt down after school?
That’s their emotional regulation system working hard!
Emotional regulation is the ability to manage feelings and reactions. It’s not about “being good,” it’s about learning how to calm down when things feel too big.
It develops slowly, and every child learns it differently.
Parents can help by:
💡 Staying calm when your child can’t
💡 Naming emotions (“I see you’re feeling frustrated”)
💡 Offering safe space and comfort
Big feelings are part of growth and not misbehaviour.
