Watch recording for “Regulating at Home” here.

Regulating at home can be tricky, especially after a day of school and activities. Being around your child who is fluctuating in and out of regulation can look and feel out of control, overwhelming, dysregulating, and triggering for everyone in the family. In this workshop learn about what dysregulation is from a brainstem “inside-out” perspective, figure out what your child’s regulation pattern is, talk about how a custom home program can support this, and start to create a regulation-supporting routine that makes sense for you and your child. This discussion will end by teaching you how to support your child’s regulation through the evening and into bedtime. This presentation is most applicable for children under age 12, but the concepts are helpful for children, teenagers, and young adults of any age.
