💞 👩👧👦 Parenting isn’t always picture-perfect. Some days are filled with laughter, others with slammed doors and tearful talks. When your child or teen pushes limits, argues or withdraws, it can leave everyone feeling frustrated — or even heartbroken.
💬 These behaviors can sometimes be signs of deeper struggles like anxiety, sadness or feeling overwhelmed. Kids may not have the words to explain what they’re going through, but their actions often speak for them.
💡 Here are a few ways to reconnect with and support your child:
• Listen first — sometimes they just need to be heard.
• Create calm moments to talk, not lectures.
• Validate their feelings (e.g., “That sounds really tough…”).
• Set healthy limits with empathy and consistency.
• Model calm by managing your own stress.
Love doesn’t mean having all the answers — it means showing up, even when it’s hard.
If emotions at home feel heavy, help is here for you and your child. Call 770-812-3266 for a free, confidential screening.
