Managing Strong Emotions - Tips for Parents & Families

Stacy Cave is speaking on “Managing Strong Emotions.” She is the counselor at River Trails Elementary. Stacy reviews the parts of the brain that are involved with emotions and says that emotions are a human reaction.
Strong emotions happen all the time. It’s what we do with them that can sometimes be the problem for kids and for us as adults.
In addition to her explanation of the brain and emotions, she reviews the FIGHT, FLIGHT OR FREEZE responses to emotions and provides ways to manage those emotions including “Deep Breathing, Creating a Safe Place at Home, Counting to 10 and Doing something you enjoy.”
