Help your child build a vocabulary for their inner world. When they can name what they’re feeling, they’re already halfway to handling it.

Give your child real strategies for calming down. Ones that actually work for little bodies and busy brains.

Help your child learn to share, take turns, and notice how other people feel—skills that will serve them for the rest of their life.

Wrap up the month by strengthening your child’s sense of self and their connection to the people who love them.
