Understanding your child's emotions 

Understanding children’s emotions is an important part of helping them feel safe, supported and understood. Children are still learning how to recognise, express and manage their feelings, and they often need guidance from the adults around them. 

Below, are some simple ways to know your child might be struggling with their emotions and how you can support them to better understand their emotions, build emotional awareness and develop healthy strategies for managing those 'big feelings'.

Julia and Lisa, the facilitators for these sessions are also happy to visit school and run sessions if there's enough interest from families. If you are interested in a session running at school, please reach out to me (Bron) via ClassDojo. 

Thanks,
