    Ep 15 - Before the meltdown, there’s always a story

    In this episode of Beneath Behaviour, we take a step back to understand what’s really going on before a child explodes, emotionally, neurologically, and relationally. This isn’t about control, defiance, or “bad” behaviour. It’s about a nervous system under pressure, and the signs we often miss in the lead-up. We explore: The difference between meltdowns, tantrums, and shutdownsHow the SUPER framework helps overcome overwhelmHow your child’s nervous system shapes their reactionsWhy prevention starts outside the momentWhat it means to meet distress with understanding, not urgency ✨ This is part one of a two-part series on meltdowns. In this episode, we focus on the out-of-moment insights that help us prepare. In part two, we’ll dive into what to do in the heat of it.

    Ep12 - School Refusal - What's really going on

    They’re not being defiant. They’re not “just refusing.” They’re overwhelmed — and their nervous system is calling the shots. In this solo episode, Jackie Hall dives deep into the emotional and physiological roots of “school can’t” — when a child literally cannot face the school day. We explore: – Why school environments can feel traumatic to some children – The 6 key stress categories that stack until they crack – How to support safety first — not compliance – And what to do when you’re being told to “just get them there” For any parent or educator navigating the heartbreak of school-based anxiety and shutdowns — this episode offers clarity, validation, and a way forward. 🌿 Learn more about our Autism Parenting Program at The Parental Stress Centre #SchoolCant #BeneathBehaviour #AutisticKids #SchoolAnxiety #NeurodivergentParenting #TraumaInformed #EmotionalSafety #ParentalBurnout #BehaviourUnderstood #ParentingSupport #JackieHall #ParentalStressCentre
