At bedtime, my children might be fidgeting in bed as they try to relax and get cozy. But as soon as I slow my mind and deepen my breath, they instantly stop stirring and quickly go to sleep. I’m so grateful for the research around coregulation. What a superpower it is to remain calm in tense moments

I couldn't deal with the typos.
3 days of constant emotional coregulation, screaming and the constant need for snacks (I know, I know, growth spurts) so despite my deep love of these wee bears, I am ready for them to be back in school and after care for a long stretch of time.

Other things that didn't make the Top 5 list but still helped a lot include masking, filtering the air, famotidine, Ativan, hugs / coregulation, warm clothes (my MCAS is cold-sensitive), and knowledge from the MCAS community.

I’m passionate about reading that’s why I do so much phonics training BUT learning is almost impossible if a child can’t regulate!

If we are thinking about how to defend ourselves we are probably in a form of flight/flight and will try to win/leave. We’re driving off a cliff and if no one grabs the wheel, we die. Learn to do the thing to be better (soothe your partner) rather than feel better (win)! #ans #coregulation #couples

Make a plan for WHEN it happens next, not IF and what you both think will work.
Coregulation is recognising when she's dysregulated (so difficult to get this step working), then you regulate your nervous system and she copies you. It's best done through contact and when you both know it's coming.

that is coregulation of the sympathetic nervous system. anyone can do it really, they just have to be able to tap into other people's beings. i was kinda talking about this on twitter earlier, about BP's role in history, how we were tree people/service workers. ("healers" but i dislike that term).

Saw Jase Williams this week. He doesn't like Best Evidence Synthesis, misrepresented the word "resilience", thinks behaviour plans are stupid, not into PB4L or Incredible Years approaches, rates Nathan Wallis, Richie Hardcore, no references... though I did like his ideas about coregulation.

We can all change the 'temperature' in a room. We can bring fear, stress, anger and more. Being aware of our own unspoken emotional state, means we can support those who need our help, far better.

The challenge then is to explore supporting them to tap into that peaceful place within between visits

The genuine opportunity of coregulation is not something that I take lightly.
Being present with people that I’m working with at that level really is a special thing that I try not to take for granted.
How wonderful the opportunity to connect as human beings while lifting heavy things! 🏋️
