The research behind it
Emotional Regulation and Meltdowns is informed by co-regulation research, by the research behind Ross Greene's Collaborative and Proactive Solutions, and by the research behind Zones of Regulation-style frameworks for the skills vocabulary. It is specialist coaching for parents, not a clinical service, and does not claim to deliver or hold accreditation in those programmes.
How we'll know it worked
You will look for fewer, shorter and less intense meltdowns, with faster recovery. A baseline from session 1 is measured again in session 6, and you keep the written before-and-after summary.
- Two or three goals in your own words, scored from 0 to 10 at the start, midway and at the end.
- A 30-second weekly meltdown log: how many, how long and how intense, rated from 1 to 5.
- The SDQ, a short standard questionnaire, completed before and after the programme.
Is this for me?
After-school hours, transitions or sibling flashpoints regularly end in explosive meltdowns rather than anxiety.
Nothing you try in the middle of a meltdown seems to help.
You have been told to punish the behaviour, but it only makes things harder.
You suspect your child is overwhelmed, not naughty, and you do not need a diagnosis to join.
You want practical steps for preventing meltdowns and for responding in the moment.
You want to measure what changes, so you can see whether the plan helped.
Want the whole pathway? The full programme runs to 6 sessions over 8 weeks, starting with these three sessions. See the full programme fits better.

Common questions
Is three sessions enough?
For a lot of families, yes. Each session ends with clear next steps, and plenty of parents find three focused sessions with one specialist is what they needed. You can stop there with nothing else to pay.
Can I go on to the full programme afterwards?
Yes. The full programme is 6 sessions over 8 weeks and starts with these same three, so tell us you have done the starter and we will set up just the remaining sessions with the same specialist, priced as a programme.
Do I need a diagnosis first?
No. Tell us what you are seeing in your own words. Your specialist works from how your child actually is, not from a label.
