The Son-Rise Program playroom is specifically designed to nurture your child whether they are experiencing a tantrum or a meltdown. A calm environment gives your child’s brain a moment to catch up on processing the sensory information. To approach a meltdown, help your child find a quiet place to de-escalate. “When you are done screaming and can talk calmly, tell me what kind of fruit you want for dessert.” You may have more after dinner.” Then help them use a more useful form of communication to get what s/he wants. To approach a tantrum, acknowledge your child’s desires without giving in. Tantrums and meltdowns are different, but we suggest you use a similar approach to each. Meltdowns typically end in one of these ways: the child wears themselves out, finds a quieter environment with less sensory information, or we respond differently to how we usually respond.
A tantrum will usually stop when the child gets what s/he wants, changes his/her tactics, or when we respond differently to how we usually respond.Ī meltdown will usually continue even after s/he gets what s/he wants because, in many cases, the child does not even know what s/he wants. The main difference between tantrums and meltdowns is that tantrums have a purpose and meltdowns are the result of sensory overload. Many experts think meltdowns are the result of the “fight or flight” response to danger.ĭifferences between Tantrums and Meltdown For these kids, something as simple as trying on new clothes for school or taking a major test can cause a meltdown. For some children, an amusement park can produce more sensory information, including sights, sounds and smells faster than a child can process it.įor other children, the prospect of making a large number of decisions can cause a meltdown. Meltdowns are usually a result of sensory overload, when there is just too much information for the child’s brain to process. MeltdownsĪ child may have a meltdown if s/he feels overwhelmed. Tantrums typically stop when the child gets what he wants or realizes that he will not succeed by acting this way. He might stop long enough to make sure someone is watching then resume his tantrum once he is the center of attention. While his behavior seems inappropriate, a child has a tantrum for a reason and he has some control over it. A youngster might lash out when he does not get to play a game, for example, or may yell and scream when he wants attention. About Tantrums and Meltdowns TantrumsĪ child may have a tantrum when he is trying to get something.
