Restorative Grief with Mandy Capehart

208. When Feelings Get Loud: Helping Kids Understand Grief & Hard Moments


Listen Later

“What if there was a simple way to help your child feel understood when emotions get loud?”

Kids experience big feelings - grief, frustration, sadness, anger - just like adults do. But often, they don’t have the words to explain what’s going on inside. In this episode, we're sharing a gentle, kid-friendly tool that helps children (and their parents) notice what emotions feel like in the body and begin to put language around those experiences.

Together, we’ll explore:

  • ​How to help kids recognize their body’s “signals” during tough moments
  • ​Why saying “this is valid” builds trust in their own feelings
  • ​How parents can respond with compassion instead of frustration
  • ​A simple practice you can use today with your kids (or for yourself)

This episode is designed for kids and parents to listen to together - or for parents to play for their kids as a standalone tool. By the end, you’ll both have a new way to approach grief, frustration, and those “too big” feelings with more compassion and connection.
