Managing Meltdowns and Understanding Sensory Needs with Laura Petix
What is actually happening in your child’s brain during a meltdown? And, what can you do during a meltdown when nothing seems to help?
When your child is melting down, it can feel personal, urgent, and overwhelming. In this episode, Laura Petix helps you reframe behavior as a nervous system response and shows how sensory strategies can support emotional regulation.
Laura Petix is a pediatric occupational therapist and neurodiversity expert. As the creator of The OT Butterfly, she helps parents decode behavior through a sensory lens.
