Ep 10 - What is parent or carer regulation? And why is it important? With Diana Silva
The terms Regulation and Co-regulation are used often when discussing how parents and carers can help the emotional state of their neurodivergent children. But what exactly do these terms mean? And what is the difference between them?
If we are to co-regulate our children, how do we look after ourselves to ensure we’re in an emotional state that is healthy for us both? How do we make sure we can access the best parts of our brain and respond in the most appropriate way?
And does regulated equate to calm? Should our children always be calm?
We chat to Diana Silva, founder of the Keywell app that helps parents better understand their neurodivergent child.
