A Meltdown Is Not The Same As A Tantrum ✋🏽
A sensory meltdown can happen when a person becomes overwhelmed by more input than their nervous system can handle.
At that moment, the goal shouldn’t be punishment.
The goal should be:
💜 Safety
💜 Regulation
💜 Reduced stimulation
💜 Support
Regulate first. Talk later.
