How to handle your child's BIG feelings and changing behaviors

Hi Forestdale families!

I am so happy to be hearing from many of you about how your children are processing all of the changes this pandemic has caused.  Changes in behavior is expected and you are not alone!

Below I have attached an article that may be helpful for many parents and guardians.  As the weeks go by you may be noticing some behaviors in your child that are not typical or difficult to manage.  Enough time has gone by now that children (and let's face it- parents too!) are really out of our routines and it is starting to bring up some unexpected feelings.  As adults, we have the ability to handle most of our feelings with little effort and when we become too overhwlemed we know what copinkg skills help us best.  Children need lots of patience and guidance around handling their feelings.  They may not even be able to tell you exactly how they feel or why they are feeling upset.
This is a quick read and may give you some helpful tips.  If you want more information or would like to speak to me directly, please reach out!  I hope you find this article helpful.  Be well!
