Why tantrums and meltdowns happen?
Many behavior challenges improve when communication and regulation skills are strengthened early - this is the foundation for Blooming Moments.
If your days feel like constant corrections...you're not alone.
Tantrums, meltdowns, and big reactions stem from frustration, limited communication, or difficulty regulating emotions—not defiance. When children don’t yet have the skills to express what they need, behavior becomes their communication.
How communication affects behavior
When communication, language, and early brain development are supported, children feel understood and regulated. Strengthening these skills often reduces behavior challenges and helps prevent future struggles.
What we strengthen first
Rather than chasing behavior, the focus is on building the skills underneath it—communication, regulation, and connection. This is the foundation of the Baby Blooming Moments approach.
What happens in a session?
• Identify what’s triggering behavior in real time
• Learn exactly what to say and how to say it
• Strengthen communication and emotional regulation
• Develop an impactful plan you can use every day
Families leave with clear language, responses, and strategies they can use immediately—during the moments that usually feel hardest.
