End Emotional Outbursts: A Practical Short Course for Parents of 8-13s

Help Your Child Manage Big Emotions and Challenging Behaviour

Does your child have frequent meltdowns, tantrums, or explosive reactions that leave you feeling helpless and exhausted?

These moments can be draining for the whole family and challenging on your parenting journey, but there's a clear path forward that actually works.

Introducing the End Emotional Outbursts Short Course – a practical, proven online parenting course that gives you the tools to understand why your child's emotions overflow, and exactly what to do about it.

What You'll Learn in This Course

This 5-part video course with accompanying PDF workbook teaches you the transformative "stress cups" framework, a simple yet powerful way rooted in evidence-based parenting programmes to understand your child's emotional outbursts linked to child development.

The Stress Cups Idea Explained: Think of your child as carrying an invisible cup that fills up throughout the day with stressors: worries, sensory input, social challenges, and unmet needs. When that cup overflows, you see meltdowns, aggression, defiance, or emotional breakdowns. Most parents try to manage the overflow, but this course goes beyond positive discipline, teaching you how to empty the cup before it spills over.

In this course, you will:

  • Understand what's really happening behind your child's emotional outbursts and why they struggle with self-control

  • Identify exactly what is filling up YOUR child's individual stress cup (because every child is different)

  • Learn practical strategies to empty your child's cup throughout the day

  • Discover how to boost your child's self-control and emotional resilience, building essential parenting skills

  • Gain step-by-step tools you can implement immediately in your daily routine

  • Feel empowered and confident in handling challenging moments

  • Understand how to create lasting change

Who This Course Is For

This course is designed for parents of primary-age children and young teens aged 8-13, who experience:

  • Frequent tantrums or tween meltdowns

  • Explosive child anger or aggression

  • Difficulty managing frustration

  • Defiant or oppositional behaviour

  • Emotional overwhelm and dysregulation

  • Difficulty with transitions or changes

  • Overreactions to minor disappointments

Whether your tween has autism (ASD), ADHD, other additional needs, is highly sensitive, is one of a growing number of anxious children, or is simply navigating big emotions during these challenging years, this course provides the framework and practical strategies you need to help with child anger management and tween emotional outbursts as they move into their teens.
