First Grade Emotional Dysregulation

wondering how often you see dysregulation in your first grade students?

I’m at a Waldorf public charter school and i have at least 15 out of 30 dysregulated students every day. I have never had this many dysregulated students before and am wondering if it’s the new norm?

typical daily situations:

• Outbursts: Temper tantrums, rage, crying spells.
• Intense Reactions: Sudden anger, severe sadness, panic, irritability
• Physical signs: Chronic fatigue, digestive issues (like IBS), sleep disturbances, and heightened sensitivity to sensory input like light or noise.
