@courtneyenglish.ot: Co-Regulation is simple yet complex! We have to maintain a calm state when our children’s nervous systems are pulling our nervous systems into dysregulation! Here are 3 things I always recommend to consider during meltdowns: 1. Be a safe and calm anchor for your child. Remove yourself from their meltdown, know that it will end, and model deep breathing while relaxing your body 2. Get down to their level, say less & listen/observe more, ensure safety. When they calm, speak slowly and soft. 3. Offer familiar regulating activities after the meltdown. More about this in my guide! Where are you having the most challenges when it comes to meltdowns?!
