One of my biggest pet peeves is when people call a meltdown a tantrum. A tantrum is a fit a child throws to get their way.

Listen in to this episode as I discuss the full differences between a tantrum and meltdown and provide insights and strategies to begin to tame them.  Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beautifully-complex--6137613/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beautifully-complex--6137613/support</a>.
