Helping families understand big feelings, build regulation skills, and feel confident in everyday routines.
These are extremely common concerns — and most of the time, they’re signs a child needs support and guidance.
Our Social-Emotional Wellness Visit helps families understand what’s developmentally typical, what may need closer attention, and how to support emotional growth through connection, structure, and regulation strategies.
Big feelings in young children are normal.
Kids learn emotional regulation gradually — just like motor skills or language.
It's developmentally typical for children to:
Most of these behaviors reflect emerging regulation, not a disorder.
A Social-Emotional Wellness Visit helps parents understand how emotions develop and how to support their child with practical, everyday strategies.
Great candidates for a wellness visit:
| Typical Behaviors | What It Looks Like |
|---|---|
| Big emotions | Meltdowns when tired, hungry, overstimulated |
| Sensory sensitivities | Dislikes loud noises, textures, or busy places |
| Worry or hesitation | Nervous with new people or routines |
| Transition struggles | Difficulty shifting activities or schedules |
| Occasional aggression | Hitting/biting during dysregulation (ages 1–3) |
| Emotional “clinginess” | Needs reassurance during changes |
| Sleep disruption | Difficulty winding down or staying asleep |
These patterns usually improve with structure, co-regulation, and emotional coaching.
A Social-Emotional Wellness Visit can identify when a referral is appropriate.
Consider a therapy evaluation if you see:
| Concern | Examples |
|---|---|
| Persistent, intense meltdowns | Meltdowns lasting >30 minutes or multiple times daily |
| Safety risks | Running away, hurting others, self-injury |
| Extreme sensory distress | Vomiting, panic-level reactions to sensory input |
| Delays in communication affecting behavior | Child cannot express needs verbally or nonverbally |
| Rigid routines affecting daily life | Severe anxiety or extreme difficulty with flexibility |
| Social withdrawal | Avoids interaction or shows minimal emotional connection |
| Regression of skills | Loss of speech, play, or emotional abilities |
A wellness visit provides clarity—not diagnosis—and helps families know the right next step.
