🌪️ What is Emotional Dysregulation? 🌪️
Emotional dysregulation happens when emotions feel overwhelming, intense, and difficult to manage. This is common in children (and even adults!) as they develop the tools to understand and express their feelings.
💡 Signs of Emotional Dysregulation:
Frequent tantrums or outbursts 😡
Difficulty calming down after getting upset 🌊
Trouble identifying or expressing emotions 💔
Overreacting to minor frustrations 🚨
✨ How You Can Help:
1️⃣ Validate their feelings: Let your child know it’s okay to feel big emotions. 🫂
2️⃣ Model calm behavior: Kids learn by watching us. Take deep breaths or use soothing techniques. 😌
3️⃣ Teach self-regulation tools: Encourage using words, drawing, or a "calm-down corner" to process emotions. 🖍️
4️⃣ Set consistent boundaries: Predictability can reduce emotional overwhelm. 🛡️
Remember, emotional dysregulation isn’t misbehavior—it’s a signal that your child needs support. With patience, understanding, and the right tools, you can guide them toward managing their emotions with confidence.

As wildfires remind us of how quickly life can change, one thing remains constant: the power of connection.
In times of uncertainty, our children look to us for comfort, safety, and strength. They feel our calm just as much as they feel our worry.
What if, in the midst of chaos, we focused on being their safe space? Not with perfect words or actions, but with our presence—a hug, a gentle tone, or even just sitting quietly together.
When we show up with love and steadiness, we model resilience and compassion. And together, we build a foundation of trust that carries through life’s challenges.
Let’s hold our little ones close today and remind them (and ourselves) that even in difficult times, love is always the anchor.

Parenting Through Big Emotions: A Fresh Perspective 💖
Ever feel like your child’s emotions are a rollercoaster, and you’re hanging on for dear life? Parenting through those big feelings can be overwhelming—but it’s also an opportunity to connect and grow together.
💡 Here’s a Tip for Navigating Big Emotions:
Name it to tame it. When your child is overwhelmed by anger, frustration, or sadness, try naming the emotion for them:
“I see you’re feeling really angry right now.”
“That seems frustrating—do you want to talk about it?”
By labeling their feelings, you’re helping them understand what’s happening inside and giving them tools to express themselves without acting out.
🌟 Why It Works:
It shows them you’re on their team, even when things feel hard.
It teaches emotional awareness, a skill they’ll use for life.
It helps you stay calm and supportive, even during meltdowns.
Parenting isn’t about perfection—it’s about connection. And every time you pause to understand and support your child, you strengthen the bond that matters most. 💛

If you’re parenting a child with ADHD and Rejection Sensitivity Disorder (RSD), you know that giving feedback—even constructive—can feel like walking on eggshells. Their heightened sensitivity can turn even a gentle correction into an emotional storm.
But here’s the good news: how you approach feedback can make all the difference.
Tip for Giving Feedback to a Child with RSD:
🗣️ Use the "Compliment Sandwich" Technique:
1️⃣ Start with a genuine compliment or acknowledgment.
Example: “You worked so hard on your homework today. I’m proud of your effort.”
2️⃣ Gently address the issue.
Example: “Next time, let’s focus on slowing down with handwriting so it’s easier to read.”
3️⃣ End with encouragement.
Example: “I know you can do it, and I’m here to help you practice.”
This approach softens the blow, helps them feel seen and valued, and keeps their self-esteem intact while addressing the concern.
💡 Why It Matters:
Children with ADHD and RSD often process feedback as a personal rejection. By wrapping corrections in care, you can help them build emotional resilience and maintain trust in your relationship.
Remember, parenting a neurodivergent child is a journey—and every step you take with patience and compassion makes a world of difference.
