"Why is she like this?"
Every parent has thought it. Usually right after a meltdown nobody saw coming, in a setting that shouldn't have been hard.
The window of tolerance is the range your child can operate in without tipping into reactivity or shutdown. When the window is narrow, small inputs land big — a tag in a shirt, a transition, the wrong cup. When the window is wide, the same inputs barely register.
Most of what looks like "behavior" is actually a window problem. The goal isn't to teach your child to power through a narrow window. It's to widen the window itself, so more of life fits inside it.
