Co-regulation
When a calm, trusted adult helps someone else settle by staying steady, close and unhurried beside them.
How it shows up
A parent lowering their voice, slowing down and staying near while a child recovers in a busy place.
What helps
Staff who give families room and time, and environments that don't rush or crowd them.
