Supporting Big Emotions During Family Change
Course overview

Inside this course

Separation reorganises a child's whole emotional landscape, even when parents handle every logistical piece with care. The feelings that surface — a sudden clinginess, a flare of rage over something small, a grief that arrives in waves months after the announcement, a stomach ache with no medical cause — are not signs that something has gone wrong. They are signs that something big has happened and a child's nervous system is working to metabolise it.

  • Recognise how anxiety, anger, sadness and grief show up differently across ages and stages during family change
