Episode 10- Why Co-Regulation > Self-Regulation

Hello Brainy SLP Crew!

This week is all about understanding why co-regulation is GREATER THAN self-regulation, and how co-regulating with all of our students and children can have a positive, long lasting effect. This can be especially true to consider for our neurodiverse learners and students with trauma- wiring and firing can happen over longer periods of time making connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. 

I always teach that self-regulation is a great long-term picture, but co-regulation is always the way to support healthy understanding and management of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
