Some kids have big emotion they can’t control. Emotional dysregulation refers to difficulties managing and responding to emotional experiences in an age-appropriate manner. This can manifest as intense, prolonged, or inappropriate emotional reactions, such as extreme anger, sadness, or anxiety. Children with emotional dysregulation often struggle to self-soothe, leading to frequent outbursts, difficulty in social interactions, and challenges in academic settings. Contributing factors can include genetics, trauma, or developmental disorders. Effective interventions often involve teaching emotional awareness, coping strategies, and problem-solving skills, alongside supportive environments both at home and in educational settings. Early identification and intervention are crucial for positive long-term outcomes.
