Don't discount emotional changes, especially if they don't seem in proportion to anything happening in life or they don't have any external source at all. Those can be a big part of the impact of a concussion. If she's having unusual and seemingly irrational or wild changes in mood that you would characterize as being out of character for her, that's very likely the concussion causing them. Helping her and the kids to understand that, and helping her to slow down and rest when she starts feeling that way would be prudent.
