My non-verbal 4 year old son is going through an awful (I hope) phase where he has meltdowns after being told he can’t have/do something he wants.
We try to avoid “no” and raising our voices. We try to redirect him to other things/activities. Sometimes these work but a lot of the time he’ll start to cry and whine. After a couple of minutes, this develops into blood-curdling screams, biting, hitting and all the other hallmarks of a meltdown.
Everything I google is about telling the difference between the two. What about when one graduates into the other??
Has anyone else experienced this?
