Behaviour regulation recommendations!!!!
My 2 year old son has a really hard time regulating his emotions, I know this age is so hard because they can’t express their feelings very well. Can anyone recommend any useful techniques?
He gets very over stimulated and will result to screaming and sometimes biting. Doesn’t want a cuddle, drops to the floor etc. It’s so hard to watch and not know how to help him!

I would go back and think what overstimulates him and remove those triggers. I realised that on a day that I'm tired and not patient, my girl will moan more and even hit. If I'm patient, redirecting, talking etc, she won't go anywhere near these behaviours. We've had 3 meltdowns in the past 6 months as I try working on understanding the fact her 'bad' behaviours are just frustrations of not knowing how to express herself. More I slow down and don't expect her to understand my world, easier life we have.

One thing that I’ve noticed when my daughter at that age is tantruming is I remind her of the behavior I want to see. I let her know mom will be with you when you show me this ______. Then I remain close by but ignore the behavior. It stops her unnecessarily crying every time and she starts using her words to tell me what she needs.
