Kids often communicate their feelings and struggles through behavior, either by escalating (anger, defiance, irritability) or taking issues underground (internalizing, insecurity, lack of confidence). Understanding these patterns is key to supporting their emotional growth.

In this episode of Mother U with Rachel Norman, we explore how to identify when kids are escalating or internalizing their struggles and practical strategies to help them process their emotions in healthy ways.

We’re chatting about:

• Signs that your child is escalating or internalizing problems
• How to guide kids to express emotions constructively
• Practical techniques to prevent behavior escalation and support confidence

Tune in for actionable parenting strategies that help children handle their emotions while building resilience and emotional intelligence.
