Developing our young ones emotional regulation builds their resilience. 💪
Emotional regulation impacts our wellbeing, mental health, social interactions, cognition and decision making as well as physical health!
As parents and teachers, there are a few things we can do to assist children along:
😮💨 Reduce the cognitive load on the child when necessary as emotional regulation is impacted by our ability and mental resources available
🤓 teach emotional literacy - build knowledge of what emotions are, how they feel in their bodies and how they have an impact - this provides a language for their inside world
🌻 encourage belief that we can (as well as teach the skills to) manage emotions as this builds self-efficacy
🧎 model emotional regulation ourselves
Our kids yoga and wellbeing classes can have an impact on many of the phases of emotional regulation through building skills in:
💫Mindfulness
💫Interoception
💫Breathing techniques
💫Nervous system regulation
💫Physical and creative expression
*Based on Gross' model of Phases of Emotional Regulation.
