A TIPP for Managing Big Feelings

This program will teach four behavioral skills that children (and their adults!) can use to manage "big" feelings, whether they be fear, sadness, anger, or other overwhelming emotions. All of the skills can be performed at home, in public, and with little to no extra supplies. Follow along as the presenter, a licensed marriage and family therapist, demonstrates how to perform each skill.
