Regulating emotions doesn’t mean shutting feelings down or “being calm all the time.”
It means learning how to handle big feelings without ignoring them…
and without letting them take over.
You notice what you feel — without judging it.
You pause before reacting.
You let emotions move through you instead of bottling them up.
You calm your body so your mind can follow.
You express what you feel in healthy ways.
You respond thoughtfully, not impulsively.
You’re not trying to get rid of emotions.
You’re learning how to move through them.
And that’s a powerful life skill — for kids, teens, and adults alike.
