11: Managing Challenging Behaviour through Co-Regulation
This episode discusses co-regulation strategies that can be helpful in supporting children and young people through moments of escalation, according to the "Low Arousal" approach. Episode 11 follows naturally from episode 10, which was about the brain's alarm system (i.e., the Fight, Flight or Freeze response). I hope by the end of these 2 episodes, we are able to reframe our understanding of "challenging behaviour." All behaviour is communication, and "challenging behaviour" is what happens when a person is in distress and they don't (yet) have other coping options.
