Your Meltdown Mastery Handouts

Welcome. These are the handouts that pair with your Meltdown Mastery course. Each one is designed to support a specific lesson, so I recommend downloading them as you go rather than all at once. Most are quick references built for real life. The kind you stick on the fridge, screenshot to your phone, or share with a partner, a grandparent, or a teacher who’s in this with you.

If you’re listening through the Hiro app, these handouts live inside each lesson. If you’re listening anywhere else, this is your one-stop spot. Bookmark this page.

A quick note: episode 1 is your course intro, so the lesson numbers don’t quite match the episode numbers. The handouts below are labeled with both, so you can find what you need either way.

 

Episode 1 / Intro No handout, just a warm welcome and a tour of what’s ahead.

Episode 2 / Lesson 1: Tantrum vs. Meltdown Quick Reference A side-by-side comparison card so you can spot the difference in real time. Worth sharing with anyone else who supports your child. [Download]

Episode 3 / Lesson 2: Traffic Light Brain Visual The green, yellow, and red zones. What’s happening in your child’s brain in each, and what your job is. This one’s a game changer for understanding. [Download]

Episode 4 / Lesson 3: Meltdown Pattern Tracker A simple week-long tracker for spotting your child’s hazards and triggers. The patterns become obvious faster than you’d think. [Download]
