Anger Outbursts
It's not uncommon for us to feel extremely frustrated and exhausted when facing children's frequent tantrums, anger outbursts, aggression, or difficulty regulating emotions. It can be challenging for both children and their families. When children are dysregulated, the trendy techniques on social media including taking a deep breath, staying calm and just sitting down, singing a song, hugging sometimes seem not working in the way that has been described. Emotional Outlet under a safe space is crucial to learn proper emotional expression without being "forced" to contain and supress emotions.
However, most of the time, what people may not be able to see is the underlying emotional needs beyond anger and aggressions.
We Provide:
-
In-person child therapy specifically for navigating anger and its "yearning"
-
Regular Caregiver Feedback Session to support us in understanding what the child is going through in their inner world, to make sense of what they are trying to communicate with their behaviours.
In child counselling in Burnaby, Children can have an opportunity to explore the emotions and experiences behind their behaviour in a developmentally appropriate way. Child-centered play therapy allows children to communicate through play rather than relying entirely on verbal explanations, while counselling can help parents better understand their child's emotional needs and responses.
If your child is struggling with anger, frustration, emotional regulation, or frequent tantrums, our therapy room in Burnaby can provide a supportive space to work through these challenges that matches children's developmental needs and expression.
