Day 12 of the 21 Days of Regulation Challenge Does pressuring your child to complete a task ever seem to backfire? You’re not imagining it. Pressure builds overwhelm, making it harder for kids to focus, comply, or learn. 💡 Today’s Tip: Shift from pressure to connection, regulation, and autonomy. ✔️ Regulation: Start with a short activity to calm their nervous system (e.g., blowing bubbles or jumping). ✔️ Connection: Build trust by showing empathy and understanding. ✔️ Autonomy: Let your child decide how to approach the task. When kids feel supported instead of pressured, tasks become more manageable, and your connection with them grows stronger.

Day 9 of the 21 Days of Regulation Challenge Meltdowns can be overwhelming for both your child and you. During these moments, your child’s emotional or survival brain takes over, and teaching or reasoning won’t work. Instead, focus on recovery and connection. 💡 Here’s what you can do during a meltdown: 1️⃣ Stay calm—your calmness sets the tone. 2️⃣ Show empathy briefly: “I see your emotions are big right now.” 3️⃣ Stop talking—words can overwhelm them further. 4️⃣ Respond with intention, not reactivity. 5️⃣ Know your child’s needs—some want space, others want your presence. Meltdowns aren’t teaching moments; they’re recovery moments. Support your child’s nervous system and connect when they’re ready.

Day 8 of the 21 Days of Regulation Challenge Do transitions often feel like a battle in your home? Whether it’s getting ready for school, leaving the park, or shifting from playtime to bedtime, transitions can lead to resistance, meltdowns, and a lot of stress for both parents and kids. 💡 Today’s Tip: Use visual or verbal cues to help your child navigate transitions. Set a timer, give a countdown, or use visual aids like a schedule to show what’s happening next. This simple strategy gives your child time to adjust and makes transitions feel less abrupt.
