## Resource

Sound based emotional regulation is an emerging approach which uses carefully designed auditory experiences including voice, rhythm and specific sound frequencies to help children regulate their nervous systems. This article and podcast episode explore the science behind sound-based emotional regulation, why it matters in early childhood, and how sound can support emotional wellbeing in a variety of developmentally appropriate ways. Read the article here: https://thevoiceofearlychildhood.com/what-is-sound-based-emotional-regulation/ This episode is sponsored by HushAway HushAway® is a sound-based emotional regulation initiative designed to support children's nervous systems, particularly those who are neurodivergent or experience sensory overwhelm. Using gentle soundscapes, calming voice, predictable rhythms, and ASMR-informed audio, HushAway® creates the conditions in which children can feel safe, settled, and ready to engage. Rather than focusing on behaviour management, HushAway® supports regulation at a physiological level, recognising that emotional regulation begins in the body, not with instructions. The approach is grounded in lived experience, early-years practice, and emerging research around sound, co-regulation, and nervous system safety. HushAway® works with children, families, and educators to embed compassionate, neuro-affirming regulation support into everyday environments, helping children feel understood, not corrected.
