I know lots of tiny tots who would adore this. Ms Rachael is great. It's not over stimulating, is informative and a great learning resource for tots developing speech and who have communication issues. I almost wish my own were small enough 😅

We can help our tots to self regulate by co-regulating as long as they need the support and as the opportunities arise.

🧠💡 How Can You Tell if Your Child is Struggling With Self-Regulation?

Recognizing self-regulation challenges means watching for patterns in behavior 👀. Kids who are having a tough time with self-regulation may:

🙈 Grab or touch objects impulsively
🤣 Act overly silly or “out of control”
😡 Have tantrums or meltdowns
🔄 Struggle with transitions between activities
⏳ Have difficulty waiting or taking turns
🧍‍♂️↔️🧍‍♀️ Struggle with being in close proximity to others (e.g. circle time)
😤 Demonstrate problems and frustration during social interactions (e.g. talking too loud, standing too close, touching others)
🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️ Have difficulty walking or waiting in line
⚡ Move too quickly or with too much force

❤️‍🩹 How can you support the development of self-regulation in your child?
