Emotions

It may seem like the teenage years and moodiness go hand-in-hand. When children start puberty, changes to hormones, relationships, identity and their body can cause their moods to be more changeable. This can be challenging for both the child and their parent or carer. For parents of children who find it hard to identify and express their emotions this can be even more challenging as new emotions like sexual attraction begin to surface. In this episode we speak with Mitchell, a young man with intellectual disability about how he dealt with his emotions through puberty, and provisional psychologist Hilary Key answers your questions about how to support children with disability with their emotions through puberty.
