When Big Feelings Overflow: Supporting Our 2e Kids Through Emotional Storms
When Big Feelings Overflow: Supporting Our 2e Kids
The thrown remote, the homework battle, the meltdown aimed at the person they love most—you. Sound familiar?
Parent coach Tosha Schore reminds us: your child isn’t giving you a hard time—they’re having a hard time. What looks like defiance is often fear, overwhelm, or sensory overload. Shifting from “won’t” to “can’t” opens the door to empathy, connection, and calmer moments.
Simple strategies—talk less during meltdowns, set clear limits with Listen-Limit-Listen, and spend daily undistracted time together—can help your child safely navigate big feelings. Remember: connection matters more than compliance, and showing up consistently helps your 2e child feel understood, loved, and safe.
Unlocking Your Child's Potential: Dr. Temple Grandin's Guide to Different Kinds of Minds
Some children think in vivid pictures, others in patterns, and some through words. Yet most schools only cater to one way of learning—leaving brilliant minds unseen. Dr. Temple Grandin reminds us that the very differences that frustrate parents and teachers are often the same strengths the world desperately needs. By understanding your child’s unique thinking style—whether they’re a visual-spatial builder, a pattern-seeking problem-solver, or a word-based storyteller—you can nurture their strengths, support their challenges, and open doors to opportunities they might otherwise miss.Neurodivergent children don’t need to be “fixed.” They need to be exposed to experiences, supported in their passions, and celebrated for their way of seeing the world. As Dr. Grandin says, “We need their skills. We definitely need their skills.”
