What Is Emotional Dysregulation in Children?

Emotional dysregulation is more than just big feelings—it’s when a child’s nervous system gets overwhelmed and they can’t manage their emotional responses in a healthy way.

Meltdowns, defiance, anxiety, and being unfocused often aren’t behavior problems… they’re signs of a dysregulated brain.

Sometimes, that dysregulation comes from overstimulation—too much sensory input, noise, or pressure. Other times, it’s from understimulation, when the brain isn’t getting enough input to stay alert and regulated. In both cases, the nervous system gets thrown off balance, and emotional control becomes much harder.

At its core, emotional dysregulation is a brain-based issue—and that means there are science-backed ways to calm and support it.

The good news? With the right tools, your child can learn how to self-regulate—and you don’t have to figure it out alone.
