Co-regulation Games

These are techniques you can use to help regulate kids when they're upset. Don't use these without watching the previous videos in the Flipping Your Lid series, though. It's very important to understand when you use them for this to be effective.

This was extremely helpful and a great resource that I'll keep coming back to. Thank you so much for making it and I hope you keep sharing more of your knowledge and skills.

Thanks! I'm glad they're helping! I have some other series posted on my channel that address all kinds of issues. And there's plenty more to come ;)

I love the idea of these and invented my own to use when I'm on the go since the majority of tantrums happen when we're out and about and I don't have a balloon in my pocket haha. I make my finger into a "candle" and I move it around slowly and my daughter needs to blow it out. She needs to blow long and slow to blow it out and when we start getting smiles then I move the candle faster so she has to chase it and then the giggles start. I love the idea of getting them to take big breaths by making a game of it!

Very helpful for anyone …

Fun helps relax as opposed to being tense

[@TREEfortChildandFamilyTherapy]

Yes! And it has the added benefit of disarming the fight/flight/freeze/collapse state in the brain...see this for more on that : th-cam.com/video/iLg-oL0ldZA/w-d-xo.html

Can you give examples to do with a 2 year old- thank you

[@heartfulmom]

Can you share sun depth the child’s options you have available, bubbles and what else? Will this be appropriate for a 10 year old? Thank you, this was great!

[@TREEfortChildandFamilyTherapy]

Sure...I shared here only a few things but there are many more available that you can work with a therapist to collaboratively create that matches your child. I shared bubbles, the balloon game, marker balance, cotton ball soccer and then a bear hug

[@TREEfortChildandFamilyTherapy]

The choices I shared are the basic ones, but they are effective. You will always get the best results working with a therapist to craft these together...
