Neurodivergent children often experience emotions with greater intensity and duration than their neurotypical peers, while simultaneously lacking the interoceptive awareness to recognize emotions building before they become overwhelming. Their neurological differences in emotional processing and regulation can make typical calming strategies ineffective. What appears as behavioral outbursts or meltdowns are frequently neurological responses to emotional overload that require different intervention approaches than traditional discipline methods.
Research shows that emotional regulation and resilience-building in childhood can reduce anxiety, improve focus, and enhance social skills. However, without guidance, these big feelings can overwhelm children, leading to frustration and behavioral struggles. That's why expert tools and strategies like those from Ella are so vital—they help turn emotional overwhelm into healthy expression and coping.
