Caring for and guiding children can bring challenging moments. Adults may experience frustration, stress, uncertainty, or strong emotional reactions while still being responsible for responding safely and appropriately. YoungStar Connect is here to help! We created a toolkit that provides practical resources to help adults build awareness of their own responses, recognize when stress is increasing, regulate during challenging moments, and respond to children with intention.
