Why Do We Care About Your Child’s Ability to Regulate Emotion?

 

From the tantrums to the tears, to the giggles, to the uncontrollable laughing fits, your child’s brain regulates all of these emotional responses. When you tell your little one to share their favorite toy, what processes do their brains undergo to determine whether they will keep their cool or implode with rage? Turns out, we are regulating emotion on a regular basis, sometimes without even realizing we are doing so. In order to calm themselves down, or prevent an outburst from happening, your child is implementing a variety of emotional control strategies; when those strategies (i.e- deep breathing, rationalization, etc.,) fail, or are not implemented in the first place, Que the catastrophic supermarket meltdown.
