[quote=Anonymous]My daughter is now 11 and was like this at your daughter's age. I will tell you that although it has gotten easier, she still has meltdowns like this, and has been diagnosed with anxiety. The meltdowns were a form of sensory overload and a release of pent up nerves. She is better in control of herself now because she can recognize at this age when her anxiety feelings are bubbling up, and implement breathing exercises, meditation and relaxation tips to help her regain her center. My best advice to you is to not engage, don't match her drama (that's so hard!) but also recognize that there may be more than meets the eye in terms of what you are seeing. Read the book "Angry Octopus" with her and practice calming breaths.[/quote]
