Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers a helpful framework for emotional coaching that doesn’t rely on controlling or suppressing emotions. Instead, it teaches kids—and parents—how to understand emotions, tolerate distress, and respond more effectively when things feel overwhelming.
Distress tolerance is a core part of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and it’s designed specifically for moments of crisis—when emotions feel overwhelming and you’re just trying to get through the next few minutes or hours.
In Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Effectiveness skills are about balancing three important things at the same time: getting what you want or need, maintaining your relationships, and honoring your self-respect.

DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) is one of the most practical, skills-based approaches out there, and despite its reputation for being “intense,” it’s actually incredibly approachable.
