Frequently asked questions about child meltdowns
Everything parents ask before downloading.
A tantrum is goal-directed — your child is upset because they want something or are avoiding something, and they still have some control over their behaviour. A meltdown is a full nervous-system overload reaction. The child has completely lost control and cannot stop until they regulate. Meltdowns are especially common in children with autism, ADHD, or sensory processing differences. Meltdown SOS provides real-time guidance for both.
Daily meltdowns usually mean there's an underlying pattern of triggers — transitions, sensory overload, hunger, fatigue, or unmet emotional needs. The brain of a young child (especially one with ADHD or sensory differences) is wired to react intensely to these triggers. Meltdown SOS tracks these patterns over time so you can identify the root cause and reduce frequency — not just survive each episode.
The most important thing is to stay calm and avoid reasoning, explaining, or saying 'calm down'. Get low (down to their level), use a soft voice, and validate the feeling: 'I can see you're really upset. I'm right here.' Give them space to regulate. Meltdown SOS coaches you through this in real-time — voice or text — so you don't have to remember anything under pressure.
Yes — it's especially designed for this. Children with autism, ADHD, or sensory processing disorder experience meltdowns more frequently and more intensely. During onboarding, you set your child's specific sensitivities, diagnoses, and known triggers. The AI guidance is then personalised to their profile — not generic parenting advice.
Early intervention is key. Watch for the warning signs before the meltdown peaks (whining, clinginess, flushed face) and act before it escalates. Reduce stimulation, lower your voice, and remove audiences if possible. Avoid giving in to demands — this reinforces the behaviour. Meltdown SOS detects these patterns and alerts you to high-risk times before they happen.
Yes, free to download on iOS and Android. The free plan includes 2 SOS voice sessions per month, 5 AI chat messages per day, 3 calm scripts, and basic insights. Premium is $4.99/month and includes unlimited sessions, all 50+ calm scripts, full AI pattern insights, therapist-ready reports, and co-parent sharing. A 7-day free trial is available.
You tap the SOS button in the app, then describe (or speak) what's happening. The AI — which knows your child's history, triggers, and what has worked before — responds with calm, step-by-step guidance through your earbuds. You stay focused on your child while the app talks you through it. No typing, no reading, no searching.
Absolutely. Meltdown SOS has specific guidance modes for transitions (like leaving the park), bedtime resistance, mealtime refusal, getting dressed, public meltdowns, and sibling conflict. Each scenario has tailored scripts and strategies based on your child's age and profile.
