✨ Emotional regulation isn’t something we teach — it’s something we support. ✨
If a child is melting down, anxious, or overwhelmed, it's not because they haven't learned about emotions. It’s because their nervous system is struggling.
Neurodivergent children don’t need more lessons on feelings.
They need:
🌱 Emotional safety
📅 Predictability
🤝 Co-regulation
🌀 Sensory support
When we understand regulation through the Pyramid of Learning, we stop blaming the behavior at the top — and start supporting the nervous system at the bottom.
Let’s shift from behavior-based strategies to body-based connection 💛
