Episode notes
Emotional Distance Enables Consistency
- Professionals easily co-regulate others because they're less emotionally involved and more predictable.
- Emotional involvement with your own child blurs rational responses that you use at work.
Use Non-Verbal Signals For Language Delays
- For children with speech delay or ASD, prioritise non-verbal co-regulation: rhythm, touch, movement, and responsive body language.
- Resist adding verbal input that can escalate and instead wait for windows to re-engage.
Catch Cues Early For Explosive Kids
- Learn each child's low-level cues and predictability patterns so you can intervene before explosive meltdowns.
- Lower expectations for impulsive children (ADHD) and teach impulse-control skills gradually.
