Emotional regulation is a vital skill that influences a child’s behaviour, relationships, and overall well-being. This resource explores the connection between emotions and unmet needs, the biological basis of emotional regulation, and common challenges children and adolescents face. It also provides practical strategies for parents, caregivers, and educators to support emotional development, along with guidance on when professional help may be needed. By fostering emotional regulation, we can help young individuals build resilience, confidence, and healthier coping mechanisms.
