๐ง Regulated doesnโt mean calm.
As parents, we often hear โregulateโ and think it means our child should be quiet or still. But thatโs not the case.
โ๏ธ Regulated means their energy matches the taskโwhether thatโs sitting for story time or running at recess. Dysregulated means their energy doesnโt fit the moment.
๐ก Helping kids regulate might mean giving them movement, sensory input, or tools to support focus and self-control. Itโs about meeting their needsโnot forcing calm.
Letโs rethink what regulation really means. ๐
