Thoughts and feelings make up a lot of a daily lives. Children and young people are developing their understanding of thoughts and feelings and this can be challenging. We have collected a set of resources to help families with emotional well being, ranging from finding ways to describe different feelings to managing ‘melt-downs’ when they become too overwhelming. We know that some young people find it hard to express their thoughts and feelings with words and they might show as behaviours. You may also find our page on managing behaviour helpful.
We have also put together a series of videos for parents on Understanding and Managing Difficult Feelings in Autism, to help you in supporting your child with their emotional regulation and behaviour.
These resources below are not autism-specific but can provide useful information and supports for children and young people in relation to their mental health and wellbeing.
