Lesson Overview

11.84 – Teaching How to Signal Overwhelm Respectfully: Emotional overload can lead to shutdowns or meltdowns, but teaching respectful signals prevents escalation. Parents can help children choose gestures, cards, or short phrases like “I need a break.” Practicing these cues during calm moments builds familiarity and confidence. Recognizing early warning signs such as fidgeting or withdrawal allows timely response. Over time, signaling becomes a proactive self-advocacy skill. Respecting these cues shows that communication leads to understanding, not punishment. Teaching this emotional boundary transforms crises into manageable moments, strengthening trust and mutual regulation at home and beyond.
