Stop the Meltdown Cycle Tonight.
Why This Actually Works
Most parenting advice fails because it tries to reason with a brain that's in survival mode. It's like trying to teach physics during an earthquake. This protocol works because it sidesteps the overwhelmed "thinking brain" and communicates safety directly to the nervous system first.
When the nervous system feels safe, the child can come back. It's simple, it's science, and it's the key you've been missing.
Created by Dr. David A. Palmer, Ed.D., an educational leader, father of six neurodivergent kids, and creator of the Rewire the Response™ framework.
Inside This Guide,
You Will Discover:
The First 30-Second Fix: What to do immediately when the storm hits to stop making things worse.
Word-for-Word "Anchor" Scripts: The exact, calming phrases that create safety when your child feels lost., screaming, running away, and complete shutdown.
How to quickly rebuild connection after the storm has passed so the hurt doesn't linger.
Your Own Nervous System Reset: A simple co-regulation practice to keep you grounded when you feel yourself start to spiral.
This is NOT another parenting technique that will fail your child.
❌ It is NOT based on rewards or punishments (which don't work in a dysregulated state).
❌ It is NOT about "toughing it out" or ignoring your child's needs.
❌ It is NOT a complicated, 10-step theory you have to memorize.
This is a simple, powerful protocol designed for the reality of neurodivergence.
But this time, you don't freeze. You don't escalate.
You have a clear, step-by-step plan. You know exactly what to do in the first 30 seconds to create safety. You have the precise words to say that bypass the "thinking brain" and speak directly to the nervous system. You feel your own body calm as you guide your child back to connection.
This isn't a fantasy. This is a framework.
Introducing...
The Emergency Meltdown Protocol
A one-page, science-backed guide to confidently navigate meltdown moments without losing yourself—or your connection with your child.
Now, imagine that same moment.
You're standing in the middle of a storm.
Your child is lost in a whirlwind of screaming, hitting, or shutting down completely. Your own heart is pounding, your body is tense, and the guilt is crushing you.
Every parenting book and blog post told you it would be different. "Be consistent," they said. "Set boundaries," they advised.
But they never told you what to do when logic disappears and your child's nervous system (and your own) is in full-blown survival mode. They never gave you the words for this moment.
This isn't a behavior problem.
It's a nervous system fire. And you can't fight a fire with logic.
