Thanks Michelle Wayman 💕 Coregulation isn’t easy. It takes practice for us, and our kids. Here’s a few truths I like to keep in mind when I am stepping into this role with my own kid as well as my clients.

1. You don’t ever need to lie to a child about how you’re feeling (or hide it). Name it!: 🌸 Do this in a developmentally age appropriate way, but we don’t need to maintain a calm facade at all times. Being inauthentic can actually create more dsyregulation.

2. Being able to coregulate requires us to be able to first regulate ourselves. It’s wise to grow this skill: 🌸 The more we support our own nervous system, the more capacity we will have to hold a child’s and walk them through it. It’s not selfish to spend time working on this for ourselves!

3. Even when we “blow it” there are always opportunities to learn. Lean into repair: 🌸 There is beauty in “messing up” or when things go off the rails. There is nothing lost. Kids learn so much from seeing and experiencing repair.
