12 Days Of Regulation Day 1

Dec 3

It’s the most regulated time of the year! 💫
We’re so excited to kick off our 12 Days of Regulation series — where each day from December 3–15, we’ll share one practical emotional regulation strategy, reflection prompt, or tool to help you (or your child) strengthen those executive function “muscles.”

Every day comes with a bite-sized skill you can use right away — whether it’s for calming the body, identifying emotions, managing impulses, or building flexible thinking.

💭 What is Emotional Regulation?

Emotional regulation is our ability to manage emotions in ways that help us think clearly, make choices, and respond intentionally — not reactively.

When we regulate well, our brain’s prefrontal cortex (the executive function hub!) works in sync with our emotional brain. This balance supports skills like:
🧠 Flexible thinking
🕐 Impulse control
🎯 Goal-directed persistence
💬 Emotional awareness and empathy

When emotions take over, executive functions can go offline — making it hard to plan, problem-solve, or stay calm. That’s why regulation isn’t just about “feeling better” — it’s about thinking better, too.
