Orienting Toward Goodness for Parent-Child Co-regulation

Your body holds the keys for moving through autonomic states of reactivity or disconnection in the parent-child relationship. Listening to your body and following its impulses can help you to re-orient toward the goodness and safety that you find in authentic connection with your child. Co-regulation is the key to building a lifetime of resilience for our children, and yet we have to learn to regulate ourselves first and then to offer our presence as an anchor for their storms, repairing as needed when we are unable to regulate in time.
