Show Notes

What is regulation anyway—and why does it matter for our kids (and us)?

This week we’re diving into the basics of self-regulation—what it really means to be balanced and steady, why deep breaths aren't always enough, and how our kids move from needing our help (co-regulation) to doing it on their own.

We talk about:
✨ What dysregulation actually looks like (hint: it's not always a meltdown)
How attachment plays into emotional regulation
Why one-size-fits-all solutions don’t work
And how compassion—for our kids and ourselves—is the real game-changer

Whether your child is bouncing off the walls or shutting down completely, this episode is for you. And remember, you are not alone!

 

Head to YouTube to watch our short video on What is Self Regulation!
