Keeping It Regulated

A Regulation Workshop for Moms & Elementary-Aged Kids

Keeping It Regulated is an interactive workshop for moms and their elementary-aged children to learn about emotional and behavioral regulation together.

Families will explore what dysregulation is, why it happens, how it can show up in our bodies and behavior, and what we can do when we notice it happening. Rather than simply telling kids to "calm down," this workshop gives families practical ways to recognize when their bodies and brains are becoming overwhelmed—and tools they can practice together to help return to regulation.
