Why Your Child Might Seem 'Out of Control' – And What Can Help

Ever had one of those moments where your child completely flips? One second you’re offering the 'wrong' colour plate, the next they’re on the floor screaming, kicking, or throwing things - and no calm words seem to reach them.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. And no, your child isn’t being naughty for the sake of it.

They’re likely dysregulated - meaning their nervous system has gone into fight-or-flight mode. In this state, they can’t think clearly or control their impulses. Logic and language go out the window. What they really need is support to feel safe and grounded again.
