We've all seen or experienced them: chaotic moments when emotional equilibrium gives way to outbursts of anger, arguments, tears, and turmoil. The results of such dysregulation are rarely positive, and entire class periods or even whole days can be lost in the fallout.

Packed with clear definitions, facts and statistics, heartfelt stories, and applicable discussion points, Regulation and Co-Regulation is rooted in the principle that relationships come first - it only takes one safe, committed adult to help a child heal and build resilience through co-regulation.

In this book, you'll discover:

• the vital link between student stress and academic performance
• how to recognize the often-subtle signs of dysregulation
• the danger of mistaking calm and quiet for healthy regulation
• an emphasis on diversity and inclusion of neurodivergent students
• sound ways to adapt regulation principles to each child's unique makeup
• the importance of engaging parents, families, and communities
• ...and more!

Tackling this critical aspect of learning head-on, Regulation and Co-Regulation holds out unapologetic hope for healing. As you absorb and apply the wisdom within these pages, get ready: a domino effect will begin when you embrace a new lens of thinking and responding. Everyone in your life - including you - will benefit from the tools you employ to make co-regulation a consistent reality for your students.
