Misconception number eight in this series is a common one: “Self-Reg only works for the kids who need the least support, but not for the most challenging ones.” Self-Reg is not about simply managing behaviors through control—it’s about understanding and addressing the deeper needs and challenges each child faces.
In this video explore how Self-Reg can actually be transformative for even the most challenging students. The key is understanding the foundational principles, diving deep into the individual variability of each child, and focusing on what’s happening “why and why now.” If you’ve only just started learning about Self-Reg, this video will encourage you to dive deeper into the foundations and challenge assumptions that may be limiting your understanding. We’ll show you how going beyond surface-level solutions can bring about profound, positive changes for every child—regardless of how challenging their behaviors may seem.
Always Remember…
