Dealing with feelings
All children take time to learn how to manage their big feelings. Some children take longer than others, and some need help from a professional, particularly if poor emotional control is impacting their life.

Emotional regulation refers to a child or adult’s ability to match their emotional responses to a situation or event in an age-appropriate way
At Early Start Australia, our clinicians help children to understand their feelings and emotions, and develop strategies to develop appropriate regulation skills.
We also work with parents and caregivers to help them understand what co-regulation is, and coach them on how to support their children to generalise their newfound skills across all settings.
Common approaches used to support development of emotional regulation skills include helping children to recognise their own body cues, teaching relaxation and other calming strategies, improving self-expression and language skills (so they can name big feelings and independently request support to receive help) and more.
We also deliver programs such as Zones of Regulation and Secret Agent Society which comprehensively target development of these skills.
If you are a parent or caregiver with concerns about your child’s ability to manage their big feelings, our clinicians can help.
We will listen to your concerns, develop a therapy plan, and get you started on your journey today.
