When school is virtual, many families are struggling to provide the type of support their children received in school while also managing a work/life balance.

It's enough to make child and parent want to pull their hair out. 

In this PreK Teach and Play podcast episode, autism expert Barb Avila and I explore how we can help children stay regulated and engaged during this pandemic. 

During our conversation, we examine...

  • How to "calm a storm" by getting children safe, being visually non-threatening, observing children's body language, and making a bid for connection 
  • Factors that cause the body to become dysregulated 
  • Why it's important to shift the mindset from behavior compliance to co-regulation
  • How boundaries make children feel more secure
