Navigating Emotions & Responding to Meltdowns and Shutdowns

A gentle, practical mini-course for parents of neurodivergent kids navigating meltdowns, shutdowns, and emotional overwhelm.

You’re not doing it wrong.
If you’re walking on eggshells, bracing for the next meltdown, or feeling helpless in the face of your child’s shutdowns—you’re not alone.
You’re not broken. Your child isn’t either.

In this short, deeply supportive course, you’ll learn how to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface—and how to meet your child with calm, confidence, and connection (even when it’s hard).

If you’ve ever thought:

• “I don’t know what to do when my child explodes or shuts down…”
• “I feel so triggered when they get angry or collapse…”
• “I’m tired of advice that doesn’t work for my neurodivergent child…”
  You’re in the right place.
  This course is here to give you tools—but also permission to stop fixing and start connecting.

What You’ll Learn:

✅ The Meltdown & Shutdown Cycle
Understand the real causes of dysregulation (it’s not just sensory—it’s also demands, trauma, and unmet needs).

✅ How to Recognise the Early Signs
Spot the “rumble stage” before the meltdown hits—and respond with attuned, supportive care.

✅ What To Do (and NOT Do) During a Meltdown
How to be your child’s anchor—not their rescuer, fixer, or judge.

✅ What Shutdowns Look Like & How to Support Them
Why shutdowns often go unnoticed—and how to gently support your child’s retreat and recovery.

✅ Practical De-Escalation Strategies
From sensory tools to body language and co-regulation tips that work.

✅ Recovery & Repair
Learn what helps after the storm. Rebuild trust, connection, and safety without shame.

✅ The Parent Piece
Your nervous system matters too. Learn how to stay grounded, avoid emotional spillover, and support yourself as the co-regulator.
