Most regulation advice skips a step. Before your kid can ‘use a coping skill,’ they have to feel the signal, the tight chest, the fast brain, the antsy legs. We teach the noticing first. You can’t act on a cue you can’t feel.

Yoga tells you to ‘breathe and feel calm.’ ABA asks: does this specific breath actually change what your body is doing? We test it. We track it. Calm becomes a skill with data behind it, not a hope.

Teach language during every other goal by narrating everything you do… be a yapper!

Your calm matters more than your words.

You can say all the right things…

But if your tone, pace, and body say stress -
that’s what they feel.

Regulation is contagious.

So is dysregulation.

Here’s your invitation to play more

When they say “I don’t know” their brain is offline.

Instead of pushing for answers:

✔ pause
✔ regulate first
✔ come back later

Language comes back after the body settles.

Add this to your bedtime routine…

Before sleep:
✔ legs up the wall (or couch)
✔ slow breathing
✔ dim lights

You’re helping the nervous system downshift.

Not forcing sleep - supporting it.

When they’re stuck don’t push harder, slow it down.

When a child is locked into “it has to be this way”

Try:
✔ slow your voice
✔ slow your movements
✔ introduce one tiny shift

Fast pressure increases rigidity.
Slowing creates flexibility.

wall push, squat hold, animal walk

This isn’t random movement.

It gives their nervous system output - which actually leads to regulation.
