Meltdowns and shutdowns are not “bad behavior” or “tantrums” — they are protective responses that happen when a child’s brain and body reach a point of overload and can no longer cope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"665\" data-end=\"1030\"\u003eThese tools help children feel safer during overload, reduce verbal and performance demands, and provide adults with guidance on how to support, validate and co-regulate without pressure or correction.
