DIVE DEEPER
Self-Reg: The Basics
Dr. Shanker gives us a summary of what Self-Reg is, and what it isn’t. He introduces some key Self-Reg terms and also outlines the 5 domains of Self-Reg and the 5 steps of Shanker Self-Reg®.
Self-Reg 101 For All| Professional Learning Series
Guided by Susan Hopkins (EdD), you’ll explore the 5 Practices of Shanker Self-Reg® and the 5 Domains of Stress, weaving together powerful neuroscience with relatable stories, reflection tools, and practical strategies. This isn’t about perfection — it’s about seeing yourself with soft eyes, understanding what your brain and body are trying to tell you, and finding your way back to genuine restoration.
Book: Self-Reg: How to Help Your Child and You Break the Stress Cycle and Successfully Engage with Life
According to world-renowned self-regulation expert Dr. Stuart Shanker, there is no such thing as a bad kid. Even the most frustrating, annoying or troubling child behaviour has an explanation. And that explanation is usually stress.
