We were never designed as humans to only have one emotion.
Or to only stay in one zone of regulation.
Healthy humans experience so many emotions each day. Emotions are neither good nor bad. They teach us.
When different emotions or challenges come up that send us into the different zones of regulation, we feel those emotions, let them teach us and then come back to a calm, regulated state.
Think of it this way:
If your child has an emergency come up... they are in a NASTY car accident or an encounter with a bully on the playground, and they stay in a calm and regulated.. that's actually alarming.
Different experiences SHOULD bring us to different zones. It's our body's way of protecting us.
We just need a way to come back to calm after.
Come learn these tools for yourself and your kids in Come Back to Calm!
Recognize
Help your child come back to cam by first acknowledging those emotions and recognizing they are not in the green zone anymore.
Reduce
After they have felt that emotion and accepted it, we reduce the stressors that moved us out of a regulated state. This is going to look different each time for each person.
Regulate
After they have felt that emotion and accepted it, we reduce the stressors that moved us out of a regulated state. This is going to look different each time for each person.
What a mama just like you has to say…
“Motherhood has been a lot more fun for me since I’ve been working on shifting my expectations and regulating my own emotions when disappointment comes & I have you to thank!”
