Strong emotions are a normal part of childhood, but when emotional reactions feel intense, frequent, or difficult to manage, children may need additional developmental support.
At Shaping Insight, Mulund, we support children who experience challenges with emotional regulation through structured, child-centred therapy.
What Is Emotional Regulation?
Emotional regulation is the ability to:
- Recognise feelings
- Express emotions appropriately
- Calm down after distress
- Adapt to everyday challenges
- Some children need guidance to develop these skills.
Why Emotional Regulation Can Be Difficult
Children may struggle with emotional regulation due to:
- Sensory sensitivities
- Communication challenges
- Difficulty understanding expectations
- Developmental or learning differences
- These challenges often appear as emotional outbursts, withdrawal, or frustration.
How Therapy Helps
Therapy supports emotional regulation by:
- Teaching calming strategies
- Improving sensory regulation
- Building emotional awareness
- Encouraging positive coping skills
- Occupational therapy and early intervention approaches help children feel safer and more in control of their emotions.
Supporting Families in Mulund
At Shaping Insight, Mulund, we believe emotional regulation develops with patience, understanding, and the right support. Early guidance can positively influence learning, relationships, and self-confidence.
