Description
You’re not failing – you’re navigating big feelings with a child who needs you.
Caring for children who have experienced change, loss, or uncertainty can come with behaviors that feel confusing, overwhelming, or even personal at times. But often, what looks like defiance, shutdown, anger, or clinginess is actually communication.
In this webinar, we will explore how to look beneath the behavior to better understand the feelings and unmet needs driving it. Designed specifically for kinship caregivers, this session will offer practical tools, trauma-informed insights, and everyday strategies to help you respond with confidence rather than react in frustration.
What You’ll Learn:
- How stress, trauma, and transitions impact children’s behavior
- The difference between willful misbehavior and survival responses
- What common “big behaviors” may actually be communicating
- How to pause and respond in ways that build trust and connection
- Simple regulation tools for both caregivers and children
- Ways to reduce power struggles while maintaining structure
- Practical strategies you can use immediately at home
