Raising Resilient Kids: Emotional & Social Support

Emotional & Behavior Support for Kids & Teens

Helping Families Navigate Big Feelings—Together

Every child has big feelings. But when those emotions start showing up as daily power struggles, outbursts, or challenging behaviors, it can leave even the most loving parents feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next.

At Wellnest Counseling, we support kids and teens in understanding their emotions, building self-control, and developing positive behaviors—while also empowering parents with tools to help things feel calmer at home.

Is This Support Right for Your Child or Teen?

You might notice your child is:

• Having frequent anger outbursts, defiance, or pushback at school or home

• Struggling with focus, impulsivity, or hyperactivity

• Feeling overwhelmed by emotions like anxiety, frustration, or sadness

• Having a hard time following rules or expressing their needs respectfully

• Showing anxiety through avoidance, perfectionism, or constant worry

• Experiencing behaviors that strain friendships or family connections

If you’ve tried talking, discipline, or rewards—and nothing seems to work—you’re not alone, and you haven’t done anything wrong.

How We Help

We believe behavior is a form of communication. Instead of focusing on “fixing” behavior, we look at what’s underneath it—big emotions, unmet needs, and learned habits.

Our child and teen specialists help families:

• Identify emotions and understand the “why” behind the behavior

• Learn calming strategies to manage anger, anxiety, or overwhelm

• Build communication and problem-solving skills for tough moments

• Strengthen parent-child connection through teamwork and trust

• Support self-awareness and confidence so kids can make better choices

This isn’t about blame or punishment. It’s about helping kids grow the skills they need for a lifetime of emotional wellness.

What Sessions Look Like

• Play-based or creative activities that help kids learn and grow

• Real-world tools and strategies that actually work at home

• Parent coaching and collaboration to support your whole family

You’re Not Alone—And There Is a Way Forward

Your child isn’t “bad.” And you’re not failing. With the right support, every child can learn healthier ways to handle emotions and grow into their best self.

Let’s create a calmer, more connected home—together.
