In this episode, we dive into the key differences between meltdowns and tantrums—what causes them, how to recognise each, and why the distinction matters. We'll explore common triggers, emotional vs. behavioural responses, and how we navigate through these on a daily bases. We also dive into how to show support to parents, friends and family members when presented with these episodes.
