Show Notes

This week I share with you the importance of helping children to develop self regulation. I will share a bit about child development, the four planes of development and some ways that we can support children in their development of self regulation. 

I have been reflecting a lot of how demanding the world is these days with constant messaging and influencing happening through media and cell phones and that we may feel pressure to respond to everything right away. Self regulation helps us to remember to pause, reflect and by practicing mindfulness and self awareness we can eventually reach a more impactful level of self care and quality of life. 

Our work with children is helping them to build a foundation for their entire lives and by understanding the importance of self regulation we can guide them towards a better sense of self and overall happiness, even through difficult moments.
