When meltdowns hit, do your child’s big emotions, shutdowns, anxiety, and/or explosive behavior rock your family? Do homework, transitions, screen time, or everyday frustrations leave everyone overwhelmed? Have you tried behavior charts, rewards, consequences, and reasoning, only to end up exhausted and frustrated?
The missing piece is likely not your parenting. It may be your child’s nervous system. Children with ADHD, autism, and other neurodevelopmental differences are more vulnerable to emotional dysregulation because their brains process stress, frustration, transitions, and sensory input differently. When the brain shifts into survival mode, logic, reasoning, and self-control take a back seat. What looks like defiance, avoidance, or overreaction is often an overwhelmed nervous system.
In this practical, science-backed webinar, Roseann Capanna-Hodge, Ed.D., will explain what’s happening in your child’s brain and nervous system during moments of dysregulation. You’ll leave with a clear action plan to respond with confidence, reduce escalation, and help your child build lasting emotional regulation.
