AECET: Supporting Children in Understanding Their Emotions
AECET is our emotional therapy program, designed to support children’s confidence, connection, and emotional regulation.
Many families come to us navigating meltdowns, shutdowns, and daily emotional challenges. AECET is a structured framework designed to help children move from reacting impulsively toward responding more thoughtfully.
The AECET Approach: 4 Focus Areas
- Affect: Supporting children in recognizing and managing their emotional reactions.
- Engagement: Building positive connections with family, peers, and themselves.
- Cognition: Supporting focus, problem-solving, and creative thinking.
- Emotional Vocabulary: We teach a structured curriculum covering over 35 distinct emotions, helping children build language to identify and express what they feel.
What Families Often Notice Over Time
- Growing comfort with new or unexpected situations
- More positive engagement with peers
- Improved ability to express frustration verbally
- Greater comfort with independent play and self-regulation
AECET is designed to give children tools to support emotional understanding and resilience, as part of a broader therapy plan tailored to your child.
