Your child melts down during transitions.
Big emotions show up before children have the words to explain them.
Behaviors spill over at home, school, or in public.
You’re not alone. These behaviors are communication.
For children ages 3–5, emotions are often felt in the body before children have the words to explain them. Guided by the CLUES™ Framework, Little Detectives: Big Feelings helps children learn how to notice body clues, name feelings, and safely express emotions so they feel more confident navigating everyday moments.
Through guided play, children learn to:
Recognize and name big feelings using child-friendly language
Notice body signals connected to emotions
Practice safe, developmentally appropriate ways to express feelings
Build confidence during transitions, group activities, and everyday moments
In addition to in-person programs, Little Detectives offers virtual workshops and parent resources designed to support families wherever they are.
