Co-regulation: What It Is and Why it Matters

If you work with, coach, teach, or care for adolescents, this animation offers a brief introduction to co-regulation support rooted in evidence-informed strategies to foster self-regulation in youth. From their middle school years through young adulthood, youth need trusted adults to help them build self-regulation. Self-regulation is the act of managing our thoughts and feelings, so we behave in ways that help us reach our goals, both in the moment and in the future.
