Your child's behaviors are a form of communication. Yelling, hitting, throwing or destructive behavior happen because your child does not know how to handle their disappointment without physical release or verbally expressing what's wrong.
Children are naturally chaotic. Provide a consistent and safe environment, they learn self-regulation. In inconsistency, their chaos grows. Guiding them towards calmness and order isn't just parenting, it's shaping their future. Stability at home, stability in life.
Emotional dysregulation in your child can manifest as: - Outbursts and tantrums - Anxiety and depression - Avoidance and procrastination - Lack of motivation and dissociation Emotional dysregulation affects not only their behavior but their overall well-being
The realities of a special needs parent: - Fighting years for a diagnosis - Juggling IEP meetings, doctors appointments, & therapy - Managing daily behaviors and meltdowns - Second guessing your parenting choices - Constant anxiety of your child's future
Parents of autistic kids cherish unique 'firsts': - First word, a triumph of communication - First time in underwear, a small victory - First time they look you in the eye, a profound connection
4 Challenges for Kids with ADHD: 1. Difficulty to control their emotions (both highs & lows) 2. Forgetting instructions & rules 3. Initiating & completing tasks 4. Controlling the urge to do the first thing that comes to mind These are all challenges with executive function
Your child hits, bites and kicks you because: - They are trying to ask for connection - They are trying to express their frustration/anger. - They are dysregulated. You must look beyond the behavior to understand the root of the problem.
3 signs your child is dysregulated after school: 1. They lash out at you over a small ask 2. They scream and run around the house uncontrollably 3. They become agitated when it's time for homework If this sounds like your child, they need a sensory calm-down routine.
