313: Emotional Dysregulation: Signs, Causes, and How to Help Your Child Regulate Emotions
Description
Have you ever watched your child’s meltdown and felt completely lost on how to help? Those intense outbursts, shutdowns, or explosive reactions can be heartbreaking and exhausting — yet they often get misunderstood as just “bad behavior” or defiance. The truth is, emotional dysregulation runs much deeper, and without the right support, both kids and parents can feel stuck in a frustrating cycle that no one wants.
Understanding the signs and causes of emotional dysregulation is the first step. That’s why I’m here! In this episode, I’ll guide you through what emotional dysregulation looks like, why it happens, and share practical ways to help your child learn to regulate their emotions.
If you want extra guidance, both the CALMS Dysregulation Protocol™ and my Quick Calm program offer structured plans to help you apply these strategies in everyday life. Remember, your calm presence is the foundation for your child’s emotional regulation. When you learn to regulate yourself first, you hold the key to helping your child find their way back to calm.
