Webinar: Managing Meltdowns and Tantrums—Understanding Big Emotions in Young Children

In this webinar, Cadence Education's Chief Academic Officer, Maggie Walsh, and Senior Director of Classroom Experience, Shelley King, explain why young children have tantrums and meltdowns and how parents can respond. You'll learn how emotional development unfolds from birth to age five, how the amygdala and prefrontal cortex shape your child's reactions, and why "all behavior is communication." The session also covers the HALT triggers, how to stay regulated when your child isn't, and how to connect and redirect in the middle of a meltdown.
