Is Your Pre-K or Kindergartener Struggling with Social and Emotional Challenges? Let’s Talk.

If your child—whether they’re in Pre-K (4 years) or Kindergarten (5-6)—is having a hard time with things like sharing, outbursts, or making friends, it can feel overwhelming. When behaviors like frequent meltdowns, difficulty with transitions, or trouble following directions show up in the classroom or at home, it's understandable to feel concerned about their emotional and social development.

Here are some signs that might sound familiar:

• Emotional outbursts or meltdowns over small changes
• Struggling to form friendships or participate in group activities
• Acting aggressively or destructively toward others or property
• Difficulty adjusting to changes in routine or environment
• Perhaps they’ve experienced trauma and are having trouble coping

If you’re noticing any of these behaviors, you’re likely wondering how best to support your child. This is where the Red Cardigan Kids Parent Consultation can help.

Drawing from the philosophies of Fred Rogers and the proven Simple & Deep™ Framework, I’ll guide you in creating a secure attachment with your child through attunement and intentional, brain-based story work practices. Together, we’ll explore your child’s attachment style, evaluate Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), and create a clear, actionable plan to help your child feel emotionally safe and understood.

With over 25 years of experience in early childhood education and emotional wellness, I’ll give you strategies you can apply immediately, helping your child thrive both emotionally and academically. This isn’t just about stopping behaviors—it’s about building the emotional foundation your child needs to grow.

Let’s work together to help your child feel secure, connected, and ready to flourish.
