Behavior Is Communication
Reading the message under the meltdown.
When a child melts down, they are not giving you a hard time — they are having a hard time. Big behavior usually means one of:

- Doesn't know how to do what's being asked
- Trying to get out of something scary
The goal isn't to stop the behavior. The goal is to answer the message.
