In this insightful and grounding session, we’ll explore the fascinating connection between the brain, the nervous system, and emotional regulation in early childhood. Children’s ability to self-regulate doesn’t develop overnight; it’s nurtured through caring relationships and co-regulation with responsive adults. In this session led by Richard Cohen, M.A ., we’ll trace how thoughts and feelings travel through the body to become actions—and what that means for the moments we share with young children each day. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of: How the brain and nervous system work together to shape emotions and behavior. Why children’s “big feelings” are opportunities for connection, not correction. The difference between self-regulation and co-regulation—and the adult’s vital role in both. Practical, real-world strategies to help children (and yourself) move from dysregulation to calm. This session will leave you with both the science and the heart of emotional regulation—equipping you with compassionate, neuroscience-informed tools to support young children’s social-emotional growth and your own well-being along the way.","meta_description":"RESOURCES ⁠Watch the full webinar here⁠ Join our newsletter!
