Why Does My Child Cry So Easily? Worry About Everyone? Melt Down After School?

Why does my child cry over little things? Why do they worry about everyone? Why do they melt down after school? And why is everything "not fair"?

In this episode of Ask Deb, I answer four questions from parents that explore why children experience such big emotions and how we can support them with understanding rather than frustration.

In this video we explore: Why some children cry over the smallest things and how sensitivity is a strength, not a weakness. How to help a child who worries about everyone without carrying the weight of the world. Why some children are completely different at school than they are at home, and what "restraint collapse" really means. Why children often complain that life isn't fair and how to teach them about fairness with empathy and understanding.

As always, we'll look beyond the behaviour and explore the emotions, needs and experiences that may be driving it. When we understand what's happening underneath, we can respond in ways that strengthen our relationship with our children and help them develop lifelong emotional intelligence.
