When a meltdown is building, more demands and more talking can make it worse. Pause. Whisper. Lower the stimulation. Check hunger and thirst. Stay close without crowding. Regulate yourself first. Connect now and correct later. Not every meltdown can be stopped, but responding early can reduce the intensity.
