Understanding Meltdowns in Young Children with ADHD
Manage episode 512262803 series 2854962
When your young child with ADHD has an explosive meltdown over something seemingly small, it's not manipulation—it's neurobiology. In this Voices of Compassion podcast episode, we talk with CHC experts, Neilson Chan, PhD, and Marjan Ebadi, PhD, about emotional dysregulation in young children with ADHD, exploring why their emotions feel bigger, last longer, and come on more rapidly than their neurotypical peers.
Listen in as we discuss why children with ADHD are at higher risk for emotional regulation challenges and how executive function plays a role, along with common triggers and strategies that parents and caregivers can use to support their young children. This episode is perfect for parents, educators, and caregivers looking for compassionate approaches to supporting young children with ADHD through their biggest emotional moments.
