Supporting Big Feelings Poster
Supporting Big Feelings: An A4 Guide for Parents & Practitioners
Big feelings are a normal and essential part of early childhood, but supporting them can feel overwhelming at times.
This A4 poster has been thoughtfully created to offer calm, practical guidance for responding to toddlers’ emotions with confidence, clarity and compassion.
Designed for parents, childminders, nurseries and early years professionals, the poster focuses on:
Understanding why young children experience big emotions
Supporting emotional regulation in a developmentally appropriate way
Responding to meltdowns with empathy rather than punishment
Using simple, connecting language to help children feel seen and understood
Creating safe, predictable responses both at home and within settings
Rooted in EYFS best practice and real early years experience, this resource gently encourages connection over correction, helping children feel safe while they learn to manage their emotions over time.
Perfect for:
✔️ Home use✔️ Early years settings✔️ Parent noticeboards✔️ Supporting a consistent approach between home and provision
This is a paid digital resource, designed to be printed and used within your own setting or home. It’s a small investment in calmer responses, stronger relationships and emotionally safe environments.
💛 Because big feelings need safe hands, not raised voices.
