Ep. 81: What Does Co-Regulation Really Look Like?
May 24, 2022 Season 1 Episode 81
Robyn Gobbel

There’s a lot of confusion about what co-regulation really is.  Parents often say to me something like “OK, I get it- I’m supposed to give co-regulation instead of a consequence.  But- what does that really mean?  Like- what does co-regulation actually look like in real life?”

Listen to the episode to learn:

  • What regulation really is
  • What co-regulation really is
  • The ‘ingredients’ of co-regulation
  • An example of in-real-life co-regulation (with an older child)
  • Active vs. passive co-regulation

In this podcast, I mention:
