Supporting Emotional Regulation: Strategies for Moments of Dysregulation

Children experience big emotions every day — frustration, fear, excitement, overwhelm — and they rely on the adults around them to help make sense of these feelings. This workshop gives educators the confidence and practical tools to support children through every stage of dysregulation, from early cues to full emotional overwhelm.

Rather than offering generic strategies, this session teaches what to do, when to do it, and why it matters, using neuroscience, attachment theory, and co-regulation as the foundation for emotionally safe practice.

What You’ll Learn:
• Identify early signs and stages of dysregulation
• Respond using co-regulation and calming strategies
• Use supportive language and presence to reduce escalation
• Apply neuroscience-informed approaches in the moment
• Understand the role of environment in emotional regulation
• Support children in returning to calm and safety
• Build predictable, emotionally supportive routines

What’s Included:
• 60-minute live virtual workshop
• Clear regulation stage guide
• Practical language prompts
• Environment-based prevention strategies
• Certificate of Participation

Join us for an empowering session that helps educators respond to big emotions with clarity, compassion, and confidence.
