Self regulation is a lifelong learning process, which starts from the very first days when, as babies, we needed help regulating or adjusting our sleep patterns, hunger and even body temperature! It is not merely “self-control” (which refers to either having the power or control over one’s own actions or resisting impulses) - self-regulation is what makes this self-control possible. This workshop covers how the brain deals with stressors; the role that play has in developing self regulation and how we as parents can help our children develop age appropriate self regulation over time.
