The Meltdown Kids

• What they offer / teach

  This is a series of seven books (one for each day of the week) for children, parents, educators and social workers, aimed at helping children who live with Sensory Processing Disorders and go into meltdown in everyday situations. Each story shows what triggers meltdowns, the form they take, their impact on the children and those around them, and explains strategies that can be learnt to help children, families and other carers feel more in control. Testimonials describe the books as short, simple discussion starters used with individual children and families.

• Ages served

  No specific age range is stated; the page mentions use with Key Stage 2 children, suitability for primary schools, and a parent's testimonial about children aged 8 and 9.

• Approach

  The approach is story-based: books focus on an 'overload' story so children can relate to characters like themselves, understand they are not alone, and use the stories as an age-appropriate route into discussions about behaviours and feelings. The stories flag up the problem, suggest why it might have occurred, and offer easy solutions and learnable strategies.
