Have you ever said Calm down to a child who is spiraling out of control? It doesn't work too well.
When a child is sad, scared or angry, these feelings can often lead to challenging behaviors at home or in the classroom.
Parents and other adults in their lives need effective tools to help children manage challenging emotions, re-claim a state of calm and tame difficult behaviors.
