Sometimes the actual trigger or thing causing a meltdown can’t be easily identified. Many are common everyday things that most people learn to filter out, making them unnoticeable to most adults.
But once you know more about the environmental triggers that can lead to tantrums and meltdowns, it gets a lot easier to eliminate the triggers and erase the meltdowns.
