When your child has a meltdown, it’s not misbehaviour, it’s communication.
Many parents tell me how overwhelmed and helpless they feel in those moments. The truth is, meltdowns are often a sign of sensory overload, especially for autistic children or children with sensory processing differences.
When we begin to understand meltdowns through a sensory lens, something shifts.
- Blame softens.
- Connection deepens.
And we start to see what our children have been trying to tell us all along:
“This is too much for me. Please help me feel safe.”
I’ve written a gentle and practical blog to help you understand:
- why meltdowns happen
- how co-regulation calms the nervous system
- how music therapy supports sensory processing and emotional regulation
If your child struggles with big feelings or sensory overwhelm, this will give you clarity and hope.
And if you feel your child would benefit from music therapy support, you’re welcome to reach out or book a session anytime.
Your child’s nervous system deserves safety, rhythm, and connection and you don’t have to navigate this alone.
Learn why your child’s meltdowns aren’t misbehaviour but a sign of sensory overload. Discover how sensory processing, co-regulation, and music therapy support autistic children and improve emotional regulation.
