Child anxiety. Meltdowns. School refusal. Big emotions that take over before kids can think. Overpowering Emotions makes sense of what's really happening beneath the behaviour — for parents, educators, and professionals supporting anxious, intense, emotionally overwhelmed children and teens. Award-winning psychologist Dr. Caroline Buzanko translates the neuroscience of emotion regulation into practical, courage-building strategies, because big feelings aren't bad feelings — they're information. Learn to regulate first, respond in the moment, and build the capacity kids need to face hard things.
