APPLYING SELF-REG

You’ve started your learning journey and begun reading and reframing misbehaviour as stress behaviour. You can recognize examples of stressors across the 5 domains of stress; biological, emotion, cognitive, social & prosocial. Your awareness of stress states and personalized ways to find your calm and restore energy is growing. Now the question is…

How can you bring Self-Reg to others?

Self-Reg can be the foundational framework for schools, early education and care, or parenting. Or interwoven with many areas of your work such as social-emotional learning, mental health and well-being, curriculum and pedagogy, safe schools, and inclusion. Shared learning helps develop common language and understandings while building capacity and cohesion.

The Self-Reg View: Calm Begets Calm

The reality is that one cannot will oneself to stay calm. One cannot simply choose, let alone force oneself, to be calm. This is precisely where the first step of Self-Reg—that of “reframing” —comes in.
