What Your Child May Be Communicating

$3.00

Children do not always have the words to explain that a transition feels difficult. Instead, stress may show up through clinginess, irritability, regression, controlling behavior, reassurance seeking, sleep changes, stomachaches, or after-school meltdowns.

This visual caregiver guide helps adults consider what may be underneath these behaviors and offers supportive language for responding with understanding and connection.

Each example includes:

• A behavior caregivers may notice
• What the child may be communicating
• A child-centered way to respond
