Co-regulation- what is it? How can I do it? 

The supportive process between caring adults and children, youth, or young adults that fosters self-regulation development is called “co-regulation”. This term began as a description of adult support for infants but is now used to describe an interactive process of regulatory support that can occur within the context of caring relationships across the lifespan. Co-regulation will look different at different ages as a child’s capacity for self-regulation grows but remains a critical resource across development.
