Brittany
“These are such beautiful lessons! I doubt more than a few of us were raised in an environment that allowed for a deeper learning of our emotions and a self-awareness that can propel us forward rather than hold us back! I can’t wait to do the activities with my son!”

“I love Meeting Kids’ Needs for my kids. I’ve learned so much about supporting them with their tough emotions and giving them what I wish we were given as kids. It’s been such a gift for our family and has filled a gap where no other resources seemed to address. I highly recommend the program for parents, caregivers, educators, and anyone working with children.”

Start Tame Tough Feelings Today
Tame Tough Feelings is designed for parents of PreK–5th grade children who are learning how to manage big emotions. Because emotion regulation skills are human skills that need to be directly taught, learning these skills can benefit every child.
This course is designed for parents. You’ll learn the latest research made simple, along with practical ways to apply it and teach your child emotion regulation skills in everyday moments.
Many parents come to Tame Tough Feelings because their child experiences strong reactions, meltdowns, or big emotional swings. The course teaches research-backed emotion regulation skills that help children name and understand what they are feeling and learn practical ways to calm their bodies and minds. Even small shifts in these skills can make daily life feel much more manageable for both you and your child.
The course includes four short video lessons (each about the length of a TED Talk) that you can watch at your own pace or binge-watch. Many parents begin applying the strategies after the very first lesson.
You receive immediate access after purchase, so you can begin exploring the lessons whenever
it works best for you.
