"Calm down" isn't a skill we can teach with words alone.

Children learn to manage their emotions through supportive relationships and responsive caregiving. Emotional regulation develops over time as trusted adults model calm behavior, provide guidance, and help children work through big feelings.

In fact, helping children develop emotional regulation skills is one of the most important things we can do to support their long-term success. These skills lay the foundation for healthy relationships, school readiness, lifelong learning, and overall well-being.

Early childhood educators play a critical role in this process every day.
Explore this article for 5 practical strategies that can help children build strong emotional regulation skills.
