Are you a parent who may sometimes find it challenging to regulate your tiny humans? Well, let’s talk about regulating in-the-moment emotions.
To nurture self-regulation, parents and others who are involved in the children’s learning and development, need to learn how to regulate their own emotions first✨
Children at a young age are still learning how to recognise and manage their emotions everyday😊
Therefore, they need to
✅ Consistently experience co-regulation led by adults
✅ Learn and observe self-control and coping skills through modelling.
In short, co-regulation is the foundation of all self-regulation skills!🤩
If you feel you or your child needs support in self-regulation and co-regulation, our Occupational Therapy or Counselling team will be able to assist you. You aren’t alone in this journey💚
