Teaching children emotion regulation skills through coregulation with Dana Rosenbloom

Young children often need our help to get their bodies and minds back into a regulated state after they've lost their cool. One of the most effective tools parents can use to do this is to coregulate with their child. Start by making sure you're regulated yourself, then become a solid and grounding presence, and continue holding firm to the limits you've set. In this episode, I am joined by Dana Rosenbloom of Dana's Kids and together she and I cover exactly how parents can follow this process to help their child transition back into a calm and regulated frame of mind. Eventually, the goal is for your child to be able to internalize the skills you've taught them through coregulating with them and, after a bit of practice and patience, they will begin to have the ability to soothe themselves independently.    I want to hear from you!
