MELTDOWN MAPPING

Meltdowns can feel overwhelming for both children and the adults supporting them. This Meltdown Mapping Worksheet has been created to help parents, carers, and professionals better understand what may be happening before, during, and after a meltdown.

By recording key details, you can begin to identify patterns, recognise triggers, and discover strategies that help your child feel safe and supported. Over time, these insights can help reduce future meltdowns and provide valuable information to share with schools, therapists, and support services.

Use this worksheet to track:
• Possible triggers and warning signs
• What happened before the meltdown
• How the meltdown presented
• Support strategies used
• Recovery time and after-effects
• Ideas for future support

Designed by a SEN parent who understands the challenges of navigating additional needs, this simple but effective tool helps turn difficult moments into opportunities for understanding and growth.
