In this video, we address a common misconception about Self-Reg—that it is just another “program” like many others. While many programs focus on providing a set of steps to follow, Self-Reg is much more than that. It’s not about implementing a regimented program; it’s a continuous process of learning, understanding, and reflecting. As we explore in the video, the true power of Self-Reg lies in its flexibility, its focus on understanding the root causes of behavior, and its commitment to lifelong learning. Unlike other approaches, there’s no “right” or “wrong” way to apply it—just a never-ending journey of growth and refinement.
If you’re looking for a sustainable, meaningful approach to improving classroom dynamics, this video will help you understand why Self-Reg isn’t a program, but a powerful, ongoing process that can transform the way you work with children.

What Is Self-Reg & Why Does It Matter?
What exactly is self-regulation? How does it develop? What are the long-term implications of optimal self-regulation? In this revitalized webinar introduction to Self-Reg, Dr. Stuart Shanker will address what Self-Reg is and how it works.
