Where should I start if I am new to Self-Reg?

If you’re a parent or caregiver, Self-Reg: How to Help Your Child (and You) Break the Stress Cycle and Successfully Engage with Life is almost a must-read, and is available in 15 languages. If you prefer to begin with something practical and connected directly to your work, explore one of the Applied Self-Reg Knowledge books written for a particular role or setting
