Learning to understand, recognise, and process big emotions in a healthy way is a huge milestone for children. However, emotional self-regulation isn’t one-size-fits-all—it depends heavily on a child’s age and developmental stage.
For younger children or those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), managing these feelings can be particularly challenging. That is why our latest guide equips parents and carers with the confidence and practical skills to support children through moments of dysregulation. From becoming a ‘dysregulation detective’ to utilising sensory resources and co-regulating alongside a trusted adult, this guide offers 10 top tips to ensure children feel safe, secure, and understood.
Together, we can help our children navigate their emotional worlds safely and confidently.
