Navigating children’s meltdowns is one of the hardest parts of parenting. We often wonder: Is it normal for my child to have meltdowns? Why is my child having a meltdown? What in the world am I supposed to do during my child’s meltdowns? And why is it so hard to stay calm during my child’s meltdowns?
In this week’s episode, I answer all of these questions by debunking 4 common myths about children’s meltdowns. I also talk about the difference between tantrums and meltdowns and how one might lead to the other … and why it’s important that children have both.
Here’s the thing: It’s so, so normal for kids to have moments of complete dysregution, sensory overload, & emotional overwhelm – which is what meltdowns really are. After today’s episode, you’ll know why meltdowns happen and why ideas like “meltdowns are bad behavior” or “meltdowns need to be stopped” are myths!
