What is Emotional Regulation?
 

Emotional regulation is the ability to manage feelings in a given situation. Children begin to learn how to regulate their emotions in toddlerhood and typically become more skilled by age 5 and is usually well-established by age 8 or 9.
 

Some signs that a child might be having trouble with emotional regulation include: Difficulty making friends, frequent disruptions in class, meltdowns that affect their daily routine, and difficulty handling frustration. 

           

How can OT help?

OT's can help by teaching strategies and addressing underlying factors that contribute to emotional challenges: ​

​

  • Developing social skills: expressing their emotions appropriately, understanding social cues, and interacting with others effectively. 

  • Using sensory strategies

  • Modifying environments, tasks, and routines.

  • Increase awareness: learn to identify their emotions and how to respond to them. 

  • Addressing underlying factors that impact their ability to self-regulate, and then create an individualized plan to address those factors.
