About
Your child is having big overreactions to anger or anxiety, and they've started yelling, hitting, stomping off, slamming doors, or just shutting down. Their reaction seems to be way out of proportion to the situation. Maybe you're even try to stay calm, validating their feelings, and using tools to help them calm down, but it just isn't working. These over-the-top emotions leave you feeling frustrated, exhausted, and defeated. You are desperately needing support in helping you and your child understand their emotions and learn how to handle day-to-day life more calmly. Collaborating with a therapist will help your child learn to identify their emotions, communicate, and use tools to work through them, leading to a calmer home. You and your child will be able to identify common triggers before they occur, which will prevent and minimize the catastrophic emotional reaction. Managing your child's tantrums for 30-45 minutes is exhausting. Every child has moments like these, but when they happen every week, you feel like you can't go on like this. Let me be part of your village. You'll find that I am an asset to developing your child's emotional intelligence, and I specialize in helping parents learn strategies to use too.
