Lesson Overview

1.27 – Managing Sensory Overload With a Screaming Child: Sensory overload can make your world blur into sound and motion until logic disappears. When your toddler’s screams collide with fatigue, step first into sensory control, not explanation. Dim lights, reduce background noise, and sit against a wall for grounding stability. Breathe through your nose, letting air cool the inside of your head, signaling calm. Place one hand on your chest and one on your stomach to feel rhythm instead of chaos. Softly hum or whisper a repetitive sound; toddlers often sync subconsciously to tone patterns. If safe, wear soft earplugs or lower your head to reduce intensity. Remind yourself the goal is not silence but manageability. When your body calms, approach your child slowly, maintaining quiet tone. Overload fades fastest through simplicity, not reasoning. Sensory control is emotional control in disguise, and every practiced response strengthens future resilience.
