Emotional Regulation in Neurodivergent Children: Preventing Meltdowns and Shutdown

Описание: Many neurodivergent children experience intense emotions, overwhelm and difficulty regulating feelings — often leading to meltdowns or shutdown.

In this video from my 3 day challenge, we explore how to create emotional safety and help children with ADHD and autism recognise, process and manage difficult feelings.

We discuss:

• Emotional regulation in ADHD and autism
• Why behaviour reflects emotional overload
• Supporting children through anxiety and overwhelm
• The “name it to tame it” approach (Dr Dan Siegel)
• Validation and compassionate resilience
• Helping children express feelings without shame

When children feel emotionally safe and understood, they are more able to regulate, recover and build resilience over time.

This is about supporting neurodivergent children to understand their emotional experience — not suppress it.
