Helping Children Cope with Stress and Change

Change is part of life — but it can be especially hard for kids.

Whether it’s starting school, moving to a new place, or facing a family change, children often struggle to express their emotions clearly. As parents or caregivers, you might notice changes in their behaviour, mood, or energy.

Signs a child might be feeling stressed include:

• Becoming unusually quiet or withdrawn
• Acting out or being easily irritated
• Trouble sleeping or changes in appetite
• Frequent stomach aches or headaches with no medical cause

At Heilen Happiness, we offer child and family counselling to help young minds feel safe, understood, and supported. Through play, conversation, and gentle guidance, we help children learn to cope with emotions, build resilience, and feel more confident during times of change.

Supporting your child starts with a conversation — and we’re here to help.
