In this episode, Caitlin is joined by Alyssa and Gabs to explore how clinicians can talk about emotions with both children and their caregivers.

Drawing on ideas from Permission to Feel, they discuss different ways to make sense of emotions, the important role adults play in helping children build emotional language, and share practical tips and strategies that families and clinicians can use to support the development of this essential skill.

We acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people as the Traditional Owners of the land on which we work and live here in Mitcham, Victoria. We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present, and recognize their ongoing connection to the land, waterways, and culture. As we support children and families, we are inspired by the wisdom and care that First Nations peoples have shown for generations.
