Understanding Emotions in Children
Children's emotional experiences can be complex and often misunderstood by parents and educators. Research cited suggests that autistic children displaying significant meltdowns are experiencing stress, which may be overlooked by adults. Instead of merely needing to learn emotion regulation strategies, these children expend considerable energy managing their emotions, leading to eventual breakdowns. This insight challenges traditional views and highlights the importance of recognizing the underlying emotional struggles faced by children, particularly in stressful situations.
