It’s hard watching your child get their feelings hurt by a friend. Even harder when they shut down, lash out, or say things like: 👉 “No one likes me.” 👉 “I don’t even care anymore.” 👉 “I’m done with friends.” But behind those words? There’s a kid who does care, who just doesn’t have the tools (yet) to navigate hurt, belonging, and repair. Friendship struggles at this age are developmental, not a sign something’s wrong. But that doesn’t make them easier to parent through. That’s why I wrote Big Kids, Bigger Feelings, to help you support your child through the messy middle of friendship, big emotions, and real growth. 📘 You’ll get regulation-first strategies, age-specific scripts, and tools to coach, not rescue, your child through social stress. 👇 Comment “BOOK” and I’ll DM you the preorder link. Because friendship is where kids learn who they are, and how we respond matters. #BigKidsBiggerFeelings #FriendshipStruggles #ChildDevelopment #EmotionalRegulation #ParentingTools #ConnectedParenting #MiddleChildhoodMatters #SeedAndSew #AlyssaBlaskCampbell #RaisingResilientKids #ParentSupport #RegulationNotRescue #EmpathyOverShame #RuptureAndRepair #SocialEmotionalLearning
