When Big Feelings Take Over
A free guide to what is actually happening during a meltdown — and what helps. Written by a BCBA. In English and Spanish.
Most parenting advice starts with what to do. This starts with what is happening.
Inside:
Why the same behavior means four different things
The one question that tells you which one it is
What helps in the moment, and what makes it worse
A one-week observation exercise that finds the pattern
Evidence-based, never fear-based. No jargon.
Written by Ricardo de la Peña, M.A., BCBA, LBA — a Board Certified Behavior Analyst who still runs sessions.
