• At Essle Center for Perceptual Development, we believe every child deserves support in understanding how to manage big feelings. Tantrums are a normal part of development, but with the right strategies, they can be prevented and turned into teachable moments.
These flyers highlight practical, everyday tips families can use at home, in school, or in the community:
✅ Monitoring early warning signs like fidgeting, whining, or body tension
✅ Creating calm, safe spaces with sensory tools
✅ Breaking down tasks into smaller, manageable steps
✅ Teaching emotional regulation skills and coping strategies
✅ Encouraging healthy communication before frustration builds
✅ Providing predictable routines to reduce stress
✅ Offering choices to give children a sense of control
✅ Reinforcing positive behaviors with praise and rewards
By using these simple strategies consistently, children gain independence, learn to communicate their needs, and build the confidence to handle challenges without meltdowns. Together, we can create calmer moments and stronger connections for children and their families. 💙🧩
