Big feelings come with the territory when you work with little humans. But when emotions spill over into challenging behaviours, even the most experienced educator can feel overwhelmed. The Big Feelings and Big Behaviours Handbook for Educators is your practical, compassionate guide to understanding what’s really going on beneath the surface — and how to respond with calm, confidence, and connection.

Packed with real-world examples, reflective insights, and developmentally appropriate strategies, this handbook helps you move beyond “managing” behaviour to truly supporting children’s emotional growth. You’ll learn how to stay regulated yourself, set clear and respectful boundaries, and create environments where big feelings are met with understanding — not punishment.

Whether you’re facing daily meltdowns, testing moments, or just want to strengthen your emotional toolkit, this is the essential resource every educator needs to navigate the ups and downs of early learning with heart and skill.
