Hey there, I'm Debbie Reber. This is Full Tilt Parenting, a podcast for parents raising neurodivergent kids in a strength-based neurodiversity affirming way. And this is a Parent Lean-In edition. That means I answer a listener question often with the help of one of my parent coaches from the Differently Wired Club community, which is what I'm doing today. So if you have a question for a future parent lean-in episode, you can go to TiltParenting.com. com slash lean in and that's spelled L E A N I N. And you can submit your question there. But today I have Margaret Webb joining me. Margaret is the author of the wonderful book A Hero's Journey and Parenting.

So the link is in the show notes. Definitely check that out if you haven't heard heard it yet or you're not familiar with that book.

So thank you for being here today, Margaret. I am grateful to be here today. Awesome. Well, let's get to today's question. So the listener writes in: My six-year-old son has been having frequent episodes of pretty intense dysregulation since going back to school. Typically in the evening when he's tired, overstimulated, and overwhelmed from the day, he might jump on furniture, run around, make loud noises, or do inappropriate things with his body.
It feels impossible to reach him during these episodes, which can be disruptive and distressing to the rest of the family. What advice do you have for dealing with this type of behavior? And I have a feeling that well, I know I have some advice, but I know you've got some really Let's take our ad break right now and when we get back, Margaret and I will share our thoughts on this.

So Margaret, I'm gonna ask you to kick us off today with this one.
Yeah, so the first thing that I always like to think about when there's something that is disruptive or is concerning as a parent is what is actually going on.

But reframing it from the perspective of what is actually going on with my child during these quote unquote episodes can really help to reframe how we're looking at our child and the situation. And so when I read this, you know, the first thing is understanding where this where it's coming up from. And it seems like there's a lot of releasing of stored up energy, you know, energy and emotions from being in school.
