Are Meltdowns Normal? 4 Myths About Your Child’s Meltdowns (& the Truth Behind Them!)

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!   Want MORE support around meltdowns?
