Children need to understand their own feelings and those of others, and learn to regulate their behaviour accordingly. One of the key ways children learn to self-regulate is through co-regulation. With modelling, support and nurture, practitioners can learn to co-regulate alongside the children so that they can develop those important skills. This dip-in-and-out guide will help practitioners provide the strongest foundations for children and to give them the best emotional start in life. It provides meaningful and inclusive ideas for co-regulation that can be embedded into everyday practice, and be used for a broad range of emotional needs, without being tokenistic. These practical and easy-to-resource ideas are expertly formulated to support and develop children's self-regulation skills.

Download or read book Parenting with Love written by Glenn Latham and published by Bookcraft, Incorporated. This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parenting isn't easy. It's a lesson in patience, human behavior, and most important, it is a labor of love. In Parenting with Love, author Glenn Latham teaches parents simple and effective ways to change their own behavior and thus create an environment in which their children will behave well. The author explains that using positive reinforcement, appropriate touch, smiles, laughter, and attentive listening can help parents avert negative reactions from their children and approach those children more wisely in times of rebellion or disobedience. The author also encourages parents to avoid parenting traps, such as criticism, sarcasm, threats, and argumentative problem solving. After all, these methods of communication tend to fail when used on anyone; and the last place a parent should fall prey to one of these traps is in his or her own home. Parenting with Love will teach parents to avoid these traps. Every parent, in fact, can benefit from this book-a book so simple that changes can be made in a day, bringing into reach every parent's ideal of a loving home. Book jacket.
