Children and teens experience a wide range of emotions, yet they may not always have the skills to express them effectively. Frustration, disappointment, worry, and anger can sometimes appear as withdrawal, defiance, or emotional outbursts. Parents play an important role in helping young people identify and manage their feelings in healthy ways. Listening without judgment, validating emotions, and teaching coping strategies can build emotional intelligence and resilience. Cynthia Brummelhuis, author of Raising Happy Successful Kids and an ADHD Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP), helps children, teens, and families develop the tools needed to navigate challenges with greater confidence and stronger connections.
