S1E3: Regulation - The Everyday Foundations
What does it really mean to be regulated, and how do we help children—and ourselves—handle the moments when life doesn't go according to plan?
Key Takeaways:
Regulation isn’t about never getting upset. It’s not about being perfectly calm. Regulation is knowing what we need when things get hard so we can participate, problem-solve, and move forward.
Routines, boundaries, and regulation work together. Routines create predictability, boundaries clarify expectations, and regulation helps us navigate moments when things become difficult.
Everyone uses regulation tools. Let us help you find tools for you and your family!
