Emotional regulation is one of the biggest skills children develop through childhood — and one of the most exhausting for parents when it isn't going well. This Quick Guide picks up where the Free Starter Guide leaves off, with practical, easy-to-implement strategies for helping your child ride through big feelings, recognize what's happening in their body, and build a calm-down toolkit that actually gets used. Includes real-life examples, scripts, and OT-approved supports for kids with big emotions, ADHD, autism, anxiety, and any child who needs support handling hard moments.
