Helping Kids Handle Big Feelings – Part 2

In this episode we continue the conversation with counsellors Aja Manning and Nicole Ward about helping kids navigate big emotions. We explore what happens in children’s counselling, the role of parents, and what behaviours or changes might signal that it’s time to reach out for help. You’ll also hear about the importance of validation, play therapy, and what to do when parenting doesn’t go as planned.
