From Chaos to Calm - Helping Kids Regulate (Part 4)
Season 4- Episode 19
Lauren is back with 5 more regulation strategies that you can try with the kiddos in your life! For the rest of May and all of June, Lauren is going to share 5 regulation strategies per week. In each episode, Lauren will explain how each strategy works to regulate and then give you specific examples of how you can start using these strategies with young kids (but these can be used with people of any age too!).
In this episode, Lauren shares 5 more regulation tools that you can use with people of all ages (most of these were developed with kids in mind, but can be easily adapted). Everyone needs a toolbox so that you can use different things depending on the day, feelings, or behaviors happening at the time. Today's techniques are all gamified regulation tools. These are fun ones!
