Misconception number ten in this series is the belief that Self-Reg is simply a new way to teach kids to make good choices and be accountable for their behavior. This misconception is deeply ingrained in our culture, and it can be a significant obstacle to truly helping children who struggle with behavior issues.
In this video, we’ll address why the accountability paradigm — the idea that children need to “own up” to their actions before receiving help — can be harmful. Through an eye-opening case, we explore how a child’s dissociation can block their progress, and why pushing accountability too early can cause more harm than good.
Watch the video to learn about how Self-Reg can be the first step in helping children overcome their behavioral struggles.
