When a Child Loses Control is a practical, compassionate guide for parents, teachers, and professionals facing emotional meltdowns, explosive behavior, and overwhelm in children.

When a child screams, shuts down, or loses control, it isn’t misbehavior — it’s a nervous system in distress. This guide shows you how to respond in ways that calm the storm instead of intensifying it.

Inside you’ll learn how to:

• understand what meltdowns really mean

• prevent emotional explosions before they happen

• stay calm when everything feels urgent

• support recovery after a storm

• build long-term emotional regulation

This book provides clear, step-by-step tools you can use in real life — at home, in the classroom, or anywhere children feel overwhelmed.
