If you’re raising a child with big emotions, you’re not alone—and you’re not doing anything wrong. Some children simply feel the world more deeply. A small change can feel overwhelming, a goodbye can bring tears, and a simple “no” can spark frustration that seems to come out of nowhere.

Watching this can be exhausting, confusing, and even scary—especially if you’ve struggled with anxiety yourself and worry about your child facing the same pain. But here’s the truth: big feelings don’t mean a big problem. They mean your child is still learning how to understand, express, and manage their emotions.

And with your patience, empathy, and presence, those big feelings can become powerful lessons in resilience, connection, and growth.
