Raising Regulators: How to Help Your Child Manage Big Emotions Through the Art of Co-Regulation
Co-regulation plays a crucial role in helping children develop self-regulation skills. In this episode, Dr. Katie explores the concept of co-regulation and its importance in parenting. She explains that children are born with the capacity to learn how to regulate but need guidance and support from parents and caregivers. Co-regulation involves using a warm, calm behavioral response to calm a child's bigger, more explosive behavior response. By modeling calm and providing a safe, supportive environment, parents can help children learn to manage their emotions and behaviors. Dr. Katie emphasizes the power of mirror neurons and how our behavior influences our children's behavior. She also provides strategies for parents to practice co-regulation, such as pausing, breathing calmly, and offering empathy and validation. This episode offers valuable insights into the science of co-regulation and practical tools for parents to support their children's emotional development.

Unlocking the Mysteries of Emotional Dysregulation in Children
This episode delves into the concept of emotional dysregulation in children and provides insights into what goes on inside their developing brains. Your host, Dr. Katie Gorham, explains how children's immature brain systems make them more prone to emotional outbursts and challenging behaviors. She discusses executive functions, which play a crucial role in everyday functioning, and highlights the limitations children face due to their ongoing brain development. The episode also introduces the idea of flipping the lid, a term coined by Dr. Dan Siegel, to describe when the emotional brain takes over and disconnects from the thinking brain. The window of tolerance, which refers to each individual's capacity to handle stress and demands, is also explored. Dr. Katie emphasizes the importance of understanding that emotions dysregulation is a normal part of development and offers strategies to help parents respond effectively when their child's lid is flipped.
