Learning to regulate our emotions is an important skill that develops over time. As children grow, they gradually learn to recognise their feelings, understand what is causing them, and use strategies to manage them. Just as children learn at different rates academically, they also develop emotional regulation skills at different times.

Behaviour is a form of communication and is often a child's way of telling us that they need support, are finding something difficult, or are experiencing strong emotions. By responding with curiosity, understanding and support, we can help children develop the skills they need to manage their feelings successfully.

The following resources were shared during our Supporting My Child to Emotionally Regulate parent workshop and provide practical ideas and strategies to use at home. We hope you find them helpful in supporting your child's emotional wellbeing and development.
