Calming down: why young children need help
Children start developing many new emotions from around two years. They include strong feelings like frustration, anger, embarrassment, guilt and shame.
Young children often don’t have words to talk about ‘big’ feelings like these. Or they might find them so uncomfortable that they just can’t cope. Instead, they cry, scream or have a tantrum.
When this happens, children need your understanding, support and help to calm down and cope with their strong feelings.
