self-regulation
the exercise of voluntary control over the self to bring the

Self-regulation is a skill that needs to be supported in
children because it is key to their overall success and
happiness. Children who can cope with stress, anger,
disappointment, and frustration are more able to do well
in school, with friends, and at home. Remember that the
more children practice regulating themselves, the easier
it will become for them to cope with and adapt to change.
You can help children by removing unnecessary demands
and guiding them with loving support

Manage your own stress
Get your own needs met so that you can support children
and be a positive role model.
Keep end goal in mind
The end goal is not to simply decrease children's
challenging behavior. We want to teach skills. When
children learn how to cope with stress, their behavior will
improve. You will notice that they can handle changes in
their environment better and respond to stress more
calmly.
Develop realistic expectations
Assess children's skills to determine where they need
support (e.g., instruction, self-awareness, practice,
feedback). Remember that younger children have less
developed brains and are less able to regulate
, themselves. Demand from children as much as they are
able to handle, keeping in mind that success leads to
more success. Expect setbacks to learning and growth.
Stay calm and model self-regulation
Remember that when children are reacting in the
moment, they are in survival mode. Their downstairs
brains are in full swing. Do not try to talk to them
because they cannot respond to logic or reason. Instead,
stay calm, show empathy, help them become self-aware,
and guide them through sensory experiences and
calming strategies.
Be supportive and encouraging
Help children feel cared about, valued, and understood as
they learn to regulate. Show genuine interest and engage
with them as a coach and mentor.
Ensure that children’s resource pool for regulation
is regularly replenished
Sleep, a balanced diet, and regular exercise are essential.
Help children plan for activities they enjoy and in which
they do well.
Reduce unnecessary demands
Review children's routines to make sure they are not
overloaded. Too many responsibilities will increase stress
and decrease children's energy levels to regulate.
Provide structure and consistency
