Helping children when and where they need it most

It’s safe to say we’re all glad to see the back of 2020. But even as the new year brings hope of better, brighter days, kids and parents alike are still grappling with stress, anxiety and emotional fatigue.

Managing big, difficult emotions — your kids’ and your own — isn’t easy, but with a little guidance (and a lot of patience), it can be done. Whether you’re calming a tantrum, taming negative thoughts, or finding time to do a little necessary self-care, we’ve got you covered. This week on childmind.org we’ve rounded up expert resources to help families navigate challenging emotions more effectively so everyone can get a happier, healthier start to the year.
