The DMDD Self-Regulation Playbook: Practical Steps for Managing Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder in Kids and Teens
Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder, or DMDD, is a profound challengefor children and teens who experience it and for the families, teachers, and caregivers who love and support them. Intense emotions, sudden outbursts, and struggles with mood regulation can lead to moments of frustration, isolation, and confusion. These experiences can shake a child's sense of self, impacting their confidence, their relationships, and their ability to engage in daily life with peace and joy. Yet, within each child lies an incredible potential for resilience, self-understanding, and growth.
This book is designed to be a guiding light for both children and caregivers on a journey toward managing DMDD with practical tools and compassionate understanding. In each chapter, you'll find techniques that build upon each other to offer a strong foundation for emotional self-regulation. We've combined insights from childhood psychology, mindfulness practices, and tried-and-true coping strategies that, over time, help children develop self-awareness and inner strength.
The idea for this book was born out of empathy for the children who struggle with DMDD and their families who want so deeply to help them but may not always know where to begin. We understand that children with DMDD are not acting out of choice or misbehavior; they are simply dealing with emotions that feel too big to manage on their own. And we know that for caregivers, watching a child endure these feelings can be deeply heart-wrenching. But there is hope. With consistent support, patience, and the right strategies, children can learn to navigate their emotions and build the skills they need to face each day with greater confidence and peace.
This playbook emphasizes practical steps, because it's often the daily, incremental changes that yield the most lasting results. The strategies includedlike deep breathing, grounding exercises, and emotion identificationprovide children with the tools they need to feel calmer, more centered, and capable. At the same time, the caregiver support sections offer valuable insights into how parents, teachers, and therapists can reinforce these skills with empathy and patience, strengthening the child's support network and encouraging growth.
