38. Emotional Dysregulation and the Challenges that come with it

Emotions are difficult to understand and interpret for all of us,
and each of us demonstrates our emotions differently but for our
kids on the spectrum, it is so much more challenging.  For
most of our kids, these intense emotions are very unpredictable,
scary, and overwhelming.


We have to teach them how to appropriately respond to their
emotions and this isn’t an easy task and won’t happen
overnight. 


We need to validate their feeling while teaching them a different
way to REACT to the feeling.


It will take TIME, patience, and practicing it over and over and
over again with each incident.
