Welcome to Week 1 of our series: Regulation at Home!

Today’s strategy is something you already do! But did you know there is a specific way to do this to actually rewire the nervous system?

Guide (Make sure to watch the video in full first!)
Make it firm: Light touches can actually be alerting or ticklish to a dysregulated child. A tight, firm “bear hug” provides the deep pressure their muscles and joints need to feel grounded and safe.
Hold on long:  Research shows that holding a hug for around 20 seconds is a good time.
Be proactive: Do 20 second hugs throughout the day. Great times include after waking up, after school, and right before bed.
Follow their lead: Always make sure your child is comfortable. If they are too overwhelmed for a full-body hug, try firm squeezes on their shoulders or hands instead.

Try adding a few 20-second hugs to your daily routine this week and see the difference it makes!

Is your 4-year-old hopping, climbing, drawing, and getting more independent?🤸✏️

By 4 years of age, your child is developing more advanced gross and fine motor skills, helping them move with confidence and care for themselves more independently. 💪✨

Swipe to see what gross and fine motor skills you typically see a 4 year-old doing.➡️🧠

Sound familiar? 😅
What can look like “not listening” is often a child finding it difficult to transition from one activity to another. Transitions require children to stop what they’re doing, shift their attention, manage their emotions, and prepare for what’s coming next — that’s a lot of work for little brains!
💡 Some ways we can support transitions:

✨ Give countdowns (“5 more minutes, then shoes”)

✨ Use visual schedules or first/then language

✨ Keep routines predictable

✨ Make it playful (“Can your shoes catch your feet?”)

✨ Acknowledge feelings when children are having fun and don’t want the activity to end
Remember, successful transitions are a skill that develops over time. Sometimes a little extra support can make all the difference between putting shoes on... and sprinting away at full speed! 🏃‍♂️💨👟
