How to tell the difference between tantrums and meltdowns (from the “What Now? A Parent’s Guide” podcast)

Parents and caregivers: if you have a child with ADHD, you’ve
probably dealt with your share of behavior challenges at home.
Just in time for the holidays, here we share an episode of
Understood’s newest podcast, What Now? A Parent’s Guide to
Tantrums and Meltdowns. Listen to psychologist (and dad) Dr.
Andrew Kahn explain how to tell the difference between tantrums
and meltdowns and what to do next. In each episode, he shares
practical strategies to help you respond more effectively to your
child’s outbursts — and manage your own stress along the way.
