@balancedmindsedu: 🎬 THE BRAIN vs. THE SCHOOL SYSTEM Episode 8: Co-Regulation vs. “Figure It Out” Culture Regulation isn’t something kids magically know how to do. It’s a skill — Modeled. Practiced. Felt. But too often, kids are told to “go calm down” on their own — before their brains are even developmentally capable of that and it can feel like abandonment. And yes — classrooms are busy. Teachers have 25 other kids and can’t drop everything. But co-regulation doesn’t mean becoming a counselor… It means: -Using a calm tone -Staying present (even briefly) -Showing kids what regulation looks like It’s not perfect. It’s not always easy…but it’s powerful and it works. Have you seen the power of co-regulation in your classroom or home? #BrainVsTheSystem #CoRegulation #EmotionalSafety #RelationshipBeforeRegulation
