The Big Feelings Toolkit
Anger, disappointment, jealousy, overwhelm — big feelings are a normal, healthy part of being a person with a developing brain. The Big Feelings Toolkit will not promise a child who never gets upset. What it offers is a calm, practical path for helping your child move through big emotions without being swept away by them, and helping you stay steady while they learn.
What's Included:- Understanding big feelings — why feelings aren't the problem, and why your calm is contagious
- In-the-moment calming tools — what to do (and what not to do) while a feeling is at its peak
- Naming and validating feelings — building a real feelings vocabulary, and making space for the hard emotions too
- Building long-term emotional skills — practicing calm-down tools outside the heat of the moment
- An age-by-age reference for ages 3 through 10
- A troubleshooting section for common patterns, from shutting down instead of melting down to public meltdowns
For parents of children ages 3 to 10 who want a calmer way to handle big emotions — both their child's and their own. Whether you're in the middle of frequent meltdowns or just want more tools in your back pocket, this toolkit gives you specific, practical strategies instead of vague reassurance.
