Self-regulation skills to overcome difficulties

How can you help your child overcome everyday stress and avoid serious difficulties? The most effective way, used by psychologists and psychotherapists in their work, is to teach the child self-regulation skills.

Self-regulation refers to the child’s ability to cope with daily challenges by using various techniques to calm themselves, reduce tension, and allow the brain to function optimally. Children who can self-regulate are less likely to experience anxiety or depression, find it easier to learn, and motivate themselves for extracurricular activities. Self-regulation skills also help teenagers to navigate the risky period of adolescence more easily and safely.
