Big Feelings and End of Year Transitions: Supporting Children and Ourselves Through End-of-Year Emotions

Watch Dana Alqinneh, M.Ed., Head of Pedagogy at Parent, and Gigi Alaqqad, Kids Life Coach and Mother, as we dive deep into the emotional side of year-end transitions—for both children and adults.

What We’ll Explore Together:

• • Why transitions bring up anxiety and how to respond with compassion, not control.
• • Supporting children through big feelings with language, play, and presence.
• • How to recognize and regulate your own stress cues and why it matters.
• • Tools to guide children gently through change.
• • How to hold space for big emotions and expression.
