Kids feel everything—sometimes all in one day. The 4 Feeling Zones help children (and parents!) recognize and name emotions, from calm and happy to overwhelmed or shut down. When kids can name what they’re feeling, they can start to manage it—and that’s a powerful first step toward emotional regulation. Not every day is a green zone day, and that’s okay. We’re here to help with the rest. ✨ 👉 Looking for more parenting or kid mental health support?

We all walk around with an invisible backpack. It carries our emotional experiences, traumas, and unresolved feelings. Similar to a physical backpack, it can become heavy and burdensome when filled with too many items. That's where Backpack Healthcare comes in. Through therapy, psychiatry, and other mental health solutions, we help lighten the load. Looking for mental health support or ready to book an appointment?

From our clinician Karla at Backpack Healthcare: Instead of trying to control emotions, try coaching through them. Swap “calm down” for these other options. At Backpack, we help families build stronger communication and emotional skills, because therapy isn’t just for crises, it’s for connection. Want to learn more skills like this? Schedule a session with one of our licensed clinicians today. hellobackpack.com
