There are often subtle signs of dysregulation before a meltdown. Often these behaviours are dismissed as being "hyper" or "attention seeking".
If we stay curious and try and attune with our children, we can meet their need before their dysregulation escalates. It isn't easy in a busy life, but if we can pause and look behind the behaviour it can make a huge difference.

When kids have big emotions, we tend to think they are being overly sensitive, that they need more resilience. Most of the time it is because there is a lot happening for the child that we can't see and don't know, that is pushing them beyond their means of coping. Instead we can change the response from they are overreacting, to seeing a child who has a lot happen for them, they are doing the best they can. They need our help not judgement.
