It’s still okay if your child... cries at drop-off, says they don’t want to go, worries about friendships, or gets nervous before a test. From Kindergarten to 6th grade, kids are learning to navigate longer days, new social dynamics, and higher expectations. Those nerves? They’re not weakness, they’re a sign your child cares, is growing, and sometimes needs your presence to steady themselves. You don’t need to rescue them from every hard moment. Instead, acknowledge what they’re feeling and send the message: “You can do hard things, and I’m here for you.” That’s what builds resilience. Want more age-specific scripts and strategies to support your big kid’s big feelings? Big Kids, Bigger Feelings is full of them. 📚 Comment BOOK to preorder today.
