Co-regulation is a powerful tool in helping children manage their emotions and behaviours. By staying calm and connected, we can guide them through challenging moments and teach them how to self-regulate over time. 🌟

Swipe through for some practical tips on how you can co-regulate with your child or student. Remember, it’s not just about calming them down - it’s about building trust, connection, and emotional resilience.🤍

Dive deeper into the world of retained primitive reflexes! The Fear Paralysis Reflex, a foundational reflex, develops early in utero, setting the stage for emotional well-being. This reflex acts as a protective shield for both the mother and the unborn baby, dynamically engaging in fear paralysis to reduce demands on the mother’s system when a threat arises, ensuring the well-being of both.

If a child holds onto this reflex beyond the expected integration period, it can lead to a child being trapped in a state of fear, resulting in chronic phobias, severe anxiety, a frozen response, difficulty adapting to social and emotional changes, and potential panic attacks later in life. This active reflex can influence both waking hours and sleep, possibly contributing to night terrors in children with sensory issues.
