Description

Key Takeaways




  1. Behaviour is a message—not a mistake. Teens use their bodies when words fail.

  2. Dysregulation = Survival Mode. “Can’t regulate” = the brain’s fight‑or‑flight alarm; it isn’t a conscious choice.

  3. A simple rating system (1‑5) gives teens a predictable way to signal distress before crisis.

  4. Empathy beats judgment. Whenever you see a teen dysregulate, ask: “What is my child trying to tell me?”

  5. You don’t have to navigate this alone. Coaching, community, and clear communication tools are available.
