Regulation & Co-Regulation Tools

Regulation & Co-Regulation Tools

Parent using co-regulation tools to support a child’s emotional regulation, guided by trauma-informed and attachment-based parenting strategies.

Patterns I regularly work through together with adoptive parents

  • Understanding your child’s nervous system responses (e.g., shutdown, hyper-vigilance)
  • Learning how to calm yourself first so you can co-regulate
  • Using neuroscience-based tools to support healing and growth
  • Shifting from behaviour management and “correction” to emotional connection
