What is Emotional Regulation?

Emotional regulation involves the understanding of how and what your body feels in response to a stimulus and responding appropriately in a socially acceptable way to enable engagement and participation and improve social relationships. Emotional regulation can help children to foster emotional control, recognise body cues in self, express emotional needs safely, and learn calming strategies to recover in a reasonable timeframe. Our occupational therapist will provide an assessment, intervention and evaluation to improve your child’s self-esteem and impulse control; by setting family-oriented goals and using evidence-based treatments such as The Zones of Regulation, The Alert Program and The Feelings Thermometer.
