Supporting Big Feelings is a calm, supportive guide for parents who want to help their child through big emotions without shouting, giving in, or constantly second-guessing themselves.
 
If you’re dealing with meltdowns, resistance, or emotional outbursts and wondering:
“Why isn’t my child listening?”
“Am I being too soft… or too harsh?”
“How do I hold boundaries without damaging our relationship?”
this guide is for you.
 
Rather than offering quick fixes or rules, this guide helps you make sense of what’s happening beneath your child’s behaviour and what’s happening inside you in those moments too. It supports you to stay grounded, lead with clarity, and teach emotional skills over time, even when things feel messy.
 
Inside, you’ll explore:
why children struggle to listen when emotions run high
how your response shapes your child’s behaviour and emotional development
how to hold limits without punishment or permissiveness
what emotional leadership looks like in everyday family life
how to support your child’s skills without losing yourself in the process
 
You’ll find realistic examples, gentle reflection, and clear explanations that recognise the reality of parenting including days when you’re tired, overstimulated, or doing it on your own.
 
This guide isn’t about getting it right all the time.

It’s about helping you feel more confident in your role, more connected to your child, and clearer about how to support their behaviour and emotional growth.
