Supporting ND Kids: Neuroaffirming Emotional Regulation Support
In this session, we explore the ideas, theories and practical examples around emotional regulation and dysregulation for neurodivergent children. We look at the polyvagal theory of emotional regulation, Ross Greene’s collaborative parenting ideas, creative expression of emotions, meeting needs through the sensory system first, brain reset breaks appropriate for the moment, meltdowns and shutdowns, autistic vs ADHD vs AuDHD dysregulation and triggers, and PDA and low demand lifestyle.
