Why does my child with Cerebral Palsy suddenly melt down “out of nowhere”?

For many kids, their brain struggles to sense what’s happening inside their body.

Cerebral Palsy can affect interoception — the brain’s ability to recognize internal signals like hunger, pain, fatigue, temperature, or stress.

That means a child may not notice they’re tired, overwhelmed, or uncomfortable until their body hits a breaking point.

This can look like:
• sudden emotional crashes
• irritability with no warning
• refusing activities “randomly”
• extreme exhaustion after appearing fine
• reactions that seem disproportionate

This isn’t attention-seeking.
It isn’t laziness.
And it isn’t poor parenting.

It’s a neurological disconnect between the brain and the body.

When we understand this, we stop asking kids to “push through” — and start helping them tune in before they reach overload.

If your child has Cerebral Palsy and you’ve ever felt confused by sudden emotional or physical crashes, comment YES.

And if you’ve ever wondered whether something during pregnancy, birth, or early care contributed to your child’s diagnosis, we can review your child’s history at no cost to see if your family may qualify for support that helps with therapy, education, equipment, long-term care, and future needs.
