And for them to do well, we need to help them learn expected behaviors, and self-regulation
is a first step, and the goal is to be coregulated.
In I Can Do That!
I share strategies helping you to better understand your child’s behavior because it’s important to remember: Your child is not their behavior. When they are acting out, it didn’t come on suddenly, though it may appear so chronic stress
impacts children’s behavior. By learning their triggers, you can be proactive in heading off their dysregulation. So, learn how both you and your child can self-regulate, creating peace in the home and on outings.
Relationships are key in life. How we relate to ourselves and to others determines our friendships. When you understand and practice life values you can engage in deeper and more meaningful relationships. And this understanding of how to relate to others starts in childhood, and the caregivers are the first role models. My Actions Matter
provides a process to not only learn life values, speak with respect, listen and obey, cause no hurts, cooperate and compromise to name a few, but it provides scripts for the caregiver to repeat so you’ll know what to say when an unwanted behavior occurs.
