What is Co-Regulation and Self Regulation?
Why is it important for parents and children?
Co-Regulation occurs before self-regulation.
Co-Regulation is the ability to monitor, to discipline, to be able to keep yourself in balance when things are a little bit off. Co-regulation occurs because someone else helps us regulate ourselves.
Sometimes we don’t realize that another person is helping us stay balanced and emotionally regulated.

A dysregulated child is not able to regulate themselves in the presence of a dysregulated parent.
Yelling or threatening a child who is having a meltdown or tantrum is not the best solution.
So how do you teach self-regulation to your child? Here are some tips I’ve used for myself and for my clients.
