Emotions & Regulation
When things change
From spotting what’s different, to choosing what to do, to getting unstuck. Start wherever fits your child — and skip anything that doesn’t.
There’s no right order. Start at the step that feels closest, skip any that don’t fit, and come back to one as often as you like.
