Raising Resilient Kids Part 2 – Developing Emotional Skills
Welcome to Raising Resilient Kids: Part 2 – Developing Emotional Skills. If you’ve ever wondered why your child suddenly melts down over a broken banana, or why calm reminders seem to bounce off them like rubber balls in a storm; this guide is for you.
In this part of the journey, we dig into why children respond the way they do. We’ll explore the incredible (and sometimes unpredictable) world of brain development, especially the bits responsible for those big fight, flight, or freeze reactions. When you understand what’s going on beneath the surface, everything starts to make more sense.
But we don’t stop at the why. This guide is packed with simple, effective strategies to help your child learn how to talk about their feelings, understand what’s happening inside their bodies, and develop tools to calm themselves when things feel overwhelming. From building emotional vocabulary to everyday mindfulness techniques, you’ll have what you need to support emotional literacy and self-regulation at home.
No perfection required. Just progress, patience, and playful connection.
Let’s grow their emotional toolkit together.
