Our ability to understand our emotions is an important life skill. Emotions help us to communicate with those around us and can move us to act. So understanding what we’re feeling helps us to dig deeper into our behaviours and choices and communicate what we want with more clarity.
 
But we can go further than just noticing and acknowledging how we feel.
 
We can develop “choicefulness” in how our emotions impact us, and learn how we can regulate those emotions in ways which are mature, healthy, and sustainable.
 
Through strengthening this ability to regulate ourselves, we can then learn to regulate those around us through a process called “co-regulation”. This process evolved so that caregivers can regulate the nervous system of their offspring when it’s not developed enough to regulate itself, and is different at different phases of child’s development. But our ability to be regulated by someone else is something that we retain all of our lives, and receiving this kind of support is often easier than regulating ourselves - especially during times of distress.
 
Developing self-regulation and co-regulation are a part of the developmental process, and a child’s capacity for self-regulation grows over time and is dependent on predictable, responsive, and supportive environments. This is important because, as we learn to balance and calm our internal sensory systems, we are able to:
 
Have better physical and mental health
Appropriately respond to stress, challenges and conflicts
Nurture and sustain relationships
Use restorative practices for ourselves and encourage others to do the same
