Big Feelings
Big feelings are strong emotions that are shared when a child becomes overwhelmed and their feelings burst. Most children will need support to regulate these strong emotions so they can refocus, problem-solve, and become calm.
Music can help to deescalate these big feelings by creating a safe, rhythmic experience to ground and regulate one’s mood, build positive connections with others, and bring an element of calm playfulness. Singing about feelings helps to identify and learn about emotions and creates an opportunity to reset these strong feelings.
