What is a Meltdown? Is it the same as a tantrum?
The first question that must be asked when we see a child having what we call “a big feelings moment” is, “Why is this happening here?” This begins the exploration. It’s easy to blame the child at this point, to jump on our high horse and point out their behavior as unacceptable. But being human ourselves, our moments of “big feelings” are often fueled by internal thoughts such as — “I’m not okay, I feel awful, I can’t cope with this situation, I wish someone could change it for me”
In this episode, we define meltdowns and discuss how our mindset matters. As for each issue there is a strategic solution and normally some underlying beliefs about childrhood to be uncovered.
