Co-regulation isn’t about squashing big emotions, it’s about helping a child feel safe enough to navigate them. When an emotional storm hits, our calm presence is the most powerful tool we have. 🏫

Why it works: When an emotional crisis occurs, verbal reasoning does not work because the child’s prefrontal cortex is offline. 🧠

Quick Co-Regulation Tips:
1️⃣ Match their posture (get low, on their eye level, but keep physical distance).
2️⃣ Stop talking - excessive language increases sensory load.
3️⃣ Regulate your own breathing. Your calm presence is the therapeutic tool.
