Navigating Big Feelings and Behaviour: What Every Parent Needs to Know

Date & Time: Wednesday 20th May, 1:30pm – 2:00pm

From separation anxiety to challenging behaviour after a busy nursery day, big feelings can feel overwhelming - but it’s also a normal part of early development. This free webinar explores why young children find regulation difficult, how behaviour communicates underlying needs, and why children often cannot manage emotions in the way adults expect.

Clinical Psychologist Sarah Mundy will help you navigate everyday scenarios, including bedtime struggles, transitions and refusing or hitting, and discuss simple, realistic strategies parents can use immediately.

You’ll also hear how Bright Horizons supports children through responsive relationships, co‑regulation and age‑appropriate environments that help them feel safe, understood and ready to learn.

Finally, Sarah will share simple approaches you can use at home, from staying calm and staying close, to naming emotions, so you can slow things down and feel confident with practical tools for everyday family life.
