This video discusses co-regulation strategies and how to support young neurodivergent children who are experiencing meltdowns or emotional dysregulation. The video also describes ways to identify underlying causes of overwhelm and dysregulation such as:

1.) Pain/discomfort from undiagnosed/untreated medical issues

2.) Stress that can occur when children are pushed to constantly change their natural way of communicating, playing, etc. and instead conform to more "typical" ways of communicating or playing
