This is what I teach parents every day! Kids aren't born knowing how to regulate their feelings, it is our job as parents to teach them 😌

www.robinhorvitzcounseling.com

Telling a child to “calm down” does not teach them how to calm down.

Young children are not born knowing how to manage anger, frustration, fear, or overwhelm. Their brains are still developing. When emotions become too big, the thinking part of the brain goes offline. In that moment, the child cannot reason, listen, or control their behaviour.

What helps is a calm adult.

When an adult stays steady, speaks gently, and helps the child name what they feel, the child’s nervous system begins to settle. This process is called co-regulation. It is how children gradually learn self-regulation, emotional control, and coping skills.

Over time, children internalise these calm responses. The words we use, the patience we show, and the safety we provide slowly become the child’s own inner voice.

Children do not learn emotional regulation from fear, pressure, or punishment.

They learn it from connection, safety, and calm adults.

For parents who could use some extra support in talking to their children about divorce, these are my favorite books. My top recommendation is The Invisible String, which can be utilized in any situation involving distance or separation from a loved one. It shares a sweet reminder that no matter how near or far our loved one may be, there is always an invisible string of love connecting us to each other.

Clinicians, what are your favorites?

Anxiety doesn't always look like worry.

😣Sometimes it looks like stomachaches before school.

😣Sometimes it looks like meltdowns over small things.

😣Sometimes it looks like avoiding activities.

😣Sometimes it looks like difficulty sleeping.

If your child or teenager suffers with anxiety, early support can make a big difference. I love helping little ones and teens manage their anxiety.

Please reach out for support if your little one is struggling with anxiety. I am happy to help. www.robinhorvitzcounseling.com

Kids don’t always have the words for big feelings 💭💛 Regular check-ins help them learn how to name emotions instead of acting them out.

As a former family law attorney, I understand how deeply divorce can impact children and teens.

My practice focuses on helping young people process change, build coping skills, and feel supported during this transition, while also helping parents feel more confident in supporting their child.

If your family is navigating separation or divorce, support is available. Reach out for help.
