You might be reading this because your child seems to be struggling with a specific emotion. Maybe you see signs of anger, low mood, stress, anxiety or overwhelm?

Sometimes, what appears to be one emotion might be influenced by other underlying feelings. For instance, anger or frustration might not be the primary emotion. These emotions could be hiding:

  • fear
  • low mood
  • stress
  • boredom
  • poor self-esteem

...or a combination of these. 

It’s important not to read this section in isolation, as other parts of this course could give you clues or strategies to support your child’s emotions or behaviours.
