Non Stop Meltdowns

Ditto.

Nobody who hasn't been in it gets it - but those of us who've been there are giving you hugs. Hang in there!

Thank you!

He was much calmer today. Only his usual amount of minor meltdowns . We stayed in today, even though it's a beautiful day here. I felt he just needed a break from the outside world. My older son complained about it, but I explained that he had a few fun days in a row but that they were much more fun for him than his brother and now we need to let his younger brother decompress.

I tell my kids teachers to send my kid to get water and pull herself together if it happens at school. I give her ZERO audience at home. I will literally walk off and shut the door. She used to have meltdowns once a week. Now its twice a year

That's great that this works for your child, but it definitely wouldn't work for mine. He gets into a state where he literally wouldn't be able to understand "get water and pull yourself together" when he has a meltdown. And often, I cannot ignore it at home because he will hurt himself. I definitely can't ignore it in public. He will run into the street without realizing it.
