Everything was going fine.

Laughing. Playing. Bonding.

Then out of nowhere — a meltdown.

Not because something bad happened.

But because it was going too well.

That’s trauma logic.

Joy feels unsafe.

Peace feels unfamiliar.

And so they light the match — because chaos is what they know.

And it hurts.

It feels like rejection.

It feels personal.

But it’s not about you.

It’s about their wiring.

So stay calm.

Stay present.

Stay safe — even when they can’t.

That’s what rewires the brain.

That’s what changes everything.
