This age looks “big” from outside — but it’s actually the most confusing transition for kids. They’re not little anymore, yet not old enough to fully understand their big emotions. Here’s what makes 6–10 years tough: ✨ They start becoming independent… but still crave constant reassurance. ✨ Their brain is growing fast, but emotional regulation is still developing. ✨ Peer pressure starts. Friend groups change. Inclusion suddenly matters. ✨ They understand rules, but impulses are still strong. ✨ School expectations rise — homework, tests, competitions. ✨ Their self-esteem becomes fragile. One comment can stay in their head all day. ✨ They want to be treated “big” but melt down like a little one. ✨ Sleep, hormones, growth spurts — everything is shifting quietly. ✨ They question everything. They argue. They try to form their own identity. ✨ And they desperately need us to stay patient, calm & connected. If your 6–10 year old is having meltdowns, attitude, backtalk, crying spells, or “big behaviour”… It’s not them being difficult. It’s them growing through one of the most emotionally challenging stages of childhood. Be gentle. They’re trying. 💛 And mama, you’re doing your best too. #parenting #positiveparenting #mindfulparenting #gentleparenting #parentingcoach #parentingreels #parentingtips #kidsbehaviour #kidsmentalhealth #motherhoodunfiltered #6yearold #7yearold #8yearold #9yearold #10yearold #explorewithmommy #kritigupta #momlifeindia #raisingkidsindia
