10. Regulation Rituals with Sally Galloway

The Child Charmer

We use the term dysregulated ALOT when it comes to our kids and their big emotions - but what does this actually mean? And why are we expecting kids to have their emotions sorted by the age of 6 once they hit formal education, when most adults find keeping their cool in stressful situations difficult? Are we expecting way too much, too soon from our kids with underdeveloped brains.

In short? Yes we are!

When we start to view big behaviours as 'stress responses in children' we can easily start to see that labelling them as 'challenging or defiant', is not very supportive or neurodiversity affirming. In fact, when kids are distressed - they actually need our help and support more than ever.

Our motto is "Compassion over Compliance. Always."

Today we discuss the importance of creating "Regulation Rituals" with kids and how these support nervous system regulation, and how in fact incorporating these into classrooms set our kids up for success each day.

And it is way easier than you might think!
