In today’s episode of Voices of Your Village, I got to hang out with my pal Kristie, an accomplished author and sought-after consultant, and dive into self-regulation. What is self-regulation? How do we teach kids how to regulate their emotions? Should that be our goal? What’s the difference between coping mechanisms and coping strategies? All. Of. The. Things. Teaching kids to regulate their emotions so they can exhibit prosocial behaviors is a major focus in schools today, but that’s actually not my goal for kiddos. Kristie and I had a blast getting real nerdy on this one, so I hope you get something out of it.    Love this podcast? Scroll down to leave a review! I read every one and they fill my heart with joy.
