About the Training

The Foundation of Connection and Trust

Co-regulation involves the back-and-forth exchange between two people as each participant adjusts their emotional state and responses based on the state — also called the 'arousal level' — of the other person.

It is an interactive experience where both individuals provide moment-to-moment feedback to each other using verbal expressions and body language. This is not just a technique between an infant or child and parent or caregiver; co-regulation can occur between any two people where there is a positive relationship.

This 40-minute training is part of the A Way of Being with Children series, with a focus on children ages birth to 5.

What Is This Training?

A 40-minute on-demand training on co-regulation — exploring what it is, why it matters for children's emotional development, and how adults can use it to build communication and trust in their daily interactions.

Who Is It For?

Parents, caregivers, teachers, and school personnel who want to better understand their role as a regulating adult in a child's life — and gain practical tools to foster healthier emotional connection.
