How to Stay Calm in the Chaos
Manage episode 285738890 series 1070940
When school is virtual, many families are struggling to provide the type of support their children received in school while also managing a work/life balance.
It's enough to make child and parent want to pull their hair out.
In this PreK Teach and Play podcast episode, autism expert Barb Avila and I explore how we can help children stay regulated and engaged during this pandemic.
During our conversation, we examine...
- How to "calm a storm" by getting children safe, being visually non-threatening, observing children's body language, and making a bid for connection
- Factors that cause the body to become dysregulated
- Why it's important to shift the mindset from behavior compliance to co-regulation
- How boundaries make children feel more secure
