Dysregulation. A kind of tough topic for many parents. It's not really a term that's common knowledge or talked about often, but at the same time, we kind of all know what it means.

This is a fairly good explanation of what our kids go through when they get into a state where they just kind of lose control. Often times, they don't do things how they normally would, and they can take some pretty triggering actions.

Maybe they push their sibling surprisingly hard or scream in your face when you've hardly done anything that feels triggering.

It's these almost involuntary things that come up in their brains. And it happens to everyone. We've just, through our life experience and brain development, found ways to tone calm these urges and explosive reactions much better. At least most adults have figured that out.

Our children need some time to work through this. And, while it's not acceptable that some of these behaviors come out, it is relatively normal, and not an indication that your child is going to become some kind of psychopath.
