Emotional Regulation

Emotional Regulation: Coping in the Present and Building Skills for the Future

Presented by Dr Antaine Stíobhairt

The way we view and manage our emotions powerfully shapes the course of our lives. Helping children to regulate their emotions means that they can better cope with difficult situations and big feelings in the present. It is also a gift that allows them to thrive in the long-term despite the challenges they may face. Antaine will outline factors at the level of children, parents, their interaction and the broader context that shape what happens next when big feelings arise. He will then provide step-by-step guidance on how we can adjust our approach to suit different moments and developmental stages.
