Science Backed Solutions for Children’s Behavior and Mental Health

Dysregulation, or the lack of effective self-regulation, can have negative consequences across various aspects of an individual's life. That is why equipping ourselves and our children with the necessary self-regulation skills is important. Honing these self-regulatory skills not only enriches our own lives but also holds the potential to fortify the fabric of our communities insofar as the areas of self-regulation intricately mold our well-being, influencing how we navigate our feelings and connect with those around us.

It's crucial that we recognize the five distinct areas of self-regulation that require cultivation in order to empower children to not only navigate the present effectively but also to flourish in the future. This commitment drives my dedication to this work, as I aim to contribute to the holistic development of these essential self-regulatory skills.
