In this lesson, we will cover the importance of caregivers' emotional regulation in helping children manage their own emotions, including strategies for self-calming like deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation. We will explore how our responses as parents and caregivers can be affected by our emotional state and how techniques derived from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can aid in managing our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Additionally, we will examine how our automatic thoughts in challenging situations can influence our overall well-being and interactions with children.
