What is melting?

Imagine this: Mum lifts her eight -year -old daughter from school. When the door of the car closes and the seat belts are attached, stories about a niche begin. Then, without warning, this sweet girl begins to cry wildly, throws on her seat, bite and scratches. Mommy wonders what has just happened? These episodes are now referred to as "melting" by various medical experts, teachers and parents of children with special needs. While the term melting is usually used in relation to a child with special needs, usually functioning children or adults in this matter can also experience from time to time.

So what is the difference between melting and anger? Most children go through phases where throwing anger is a matter of course. At this stage of development, anger is usually the result of not getting something they want. The tactics of anger usually decrease when the child enters elementary school. For children who have special needs, physical or emotional, there is no act of melting about the use of tactics;It is a signal of the symptom that something deeper is happening. This is not to say that children with special needs do not throw away bouts of anger - they do and know how and when to use them. Yet it is important to realize that there is a difference between the two episodes.

melting usually occurs when the baby is stressed, is anxious or exhausted by the breaths of the day. Most people learn how to respond to their environment and regulate their emotions. When something unexpected, stressful or negative happens, we are dealing with it and then we are able to return our emotions back to the "normal" range. When a child is difficult to respond to its environment, either because of physicsCal or emotional reasons, it may be difficult to return to a state of normality. Once an event causing stress has occurred, the child is unable to regain the state of emotional balance. In children with special needs, there may be a stressful event something simple, for exampleLad light can be too bright or the volume of the classroom can be too loud. Every event and reaction are still being built throughout the day. The emotional state of these children can often resemble riding on a roller coaster that never gets to a full and complete stop. Once the child is not more able to hold together, the disintegration occurs.

So what can you do if your child is experiencing melting? Become a detective. Consider when the melting will be melted. Look for patterns and triggers.
