Book • 2025
The Self-Regulation Workbook for Children (Ages 5 to 8) by Kahlila Robinson and Sarah Gerstenzang provides practical, parent-focused guidance for helping young children identify and manage emotions.
The book emphasizes parental self-regulation and co-regulation as foundational to children's emotional learning, offering in-the-moment strategies and daily practices like play and walking to support regulation.
It includes scripts, exercises, and real child examples to model how kids can experience and process big feelings without being prematurely shut down.
The authors draw on clinical experience with families, adoptive contexts, and developmental trauma to suggest adaptable tools for varied children and family needs.
The workbook also highlights repair, revisiting difficult moments, and tailoring strategies through practice and trial-and-error.
