In this video, we tackle the common misconception that Self-Reg is something only the child needs to work on, and that the teacher or others are not involved in the process. Many educators often ask, “What can the child do differently?” when introducing Self-Reg, but the truth is, the key to success lies in the relationship between teacher and student. This connection, built on trust, empathy, and mutual understanding, is the foundation of Self-Reg. When we focus solely on the child’s behavior, we miss the powerful role the teacher plays in creating a supportive, empathetic environment where growth can truly happen.
If you’re ready to rethink how you approach Self-Reg in the classroom or any child in your care, this video will provide valuable insights. Give it a watch:
