Co-regulation is so important! But to be able to co-regulate effectively with your child, you have to learn how to keep your cool.

What are some of your strategies for staying calm in the middle of a meltdown?

Now this is our opinion, but to us, connection is much more valuable than compliance. In our clinic we prioritize building strong, trusting relationships with our clients & families over almost everything else.

We do not force our clients to perform at a certain level.

This might seem like we are being soft, or letting our clients get away with not working hard or (fill in the blank). In reality though, this approach is much more effective.

It's easier to set strict expectations & accept nothing less, than it is to listen to the resistance & learn from it. This approach requires more attention & creative thinking, honors the nervous system, & builds resilience.

At the end of the day, the time we share with our clients is just a drop in the ocean, but can have rippling effects on their lives. We don't want to just make sure they can complete certain tasks - we want to help them build skills they will carry with them the rest of their lives. We want them to understand themselves deeply so they can help themselves in the future. And to do this, the currency we'll need is connection, not compliance.

It's easy to get caught up in the middle of a meltdown & want to give up. You may feel like you can't do anything right. That no matter what you say, your child will continue to yell & shout & say mean things to you.

When your child is in the middle of a meltdown, their thinking brain is offline. They are not able to think clearly. Their nervous system is stuck in survival mode. They are completely overwhelmed.

In these trying moments, it's important to remember these things. That your child is not giving you a hard time, they are having a hard time. They need you to share your calm. As hard as it may be.

Curios about how to do that? Head to our latest blog post to learn more about co-regulation & how to use co-regulation to support your child.
