Are you a parent that wants to learn more about co-regulating with your child? Join Dr Melanie Heyworth for a webinar on practical parenting approaches to co-regulation. Co-regulation is the practice of using your own calm and regulated emotions to help to influence your child's self, emotional regulation during periods of "big emotions". In this webinar, we'll discuss the neuroscience underpinning self-regulation, and learn how our own regulation is a powerful predictor of our children's ability to self-regulate, as well as addressing practical ways to regulate ourselves as parents.
Please note: this webinar is not an introduction to Autism, and a level of knowledge about Autism and neurodiversity will be assumed.
