Nobody talks about what happens to the parent's body during a meltdown..
Genuinely curious..
While your child is dysregulated -
Your heart rate spikes.
Your chest tightens.
Your brain shifts into threat mode.
You're not just witnessing the meltdown.
You're having a physiological response to it.
Which means you're trying to co-regulate a dysregulated child...
With a dysregulated nervous system.
That's not a parenting fail it's literally biology.
So yea genuinely curious how different this looks for everyone. πŸ‘‡
