In this episode, Luis continues the short series on male puberty by exploring parallel co-regulation, which is similar to parallel play -- meaning they're playing near or next to each other -- and how important it is for teenage boys.

During puberty, many boys lose access to their feelings while stuck in a body overwhelmed by testosterone and transformation at every level. An increase in sensation added to a decrease in capacity for sensation leads to inevitable shut down and isolation.

Luis dives into how parents and caregivers can interrupt this isolation through inviting parallel co-regulation in simple ways: Your teen does the dishes while you make dinner. Bring them to the store to help grocery shop. Read separate books together in the living room. What other ways can you think of to bring "parallel play"/parallel co-regulation into your home?
