What is Emotional Regulation? • According to the SCERTS® Model (www.scerts.com), it is “the development of the ability to maintain a well-regulated emotional state to cope with everyday stress, and to be most available for learning and interacting.” • As adults, we constantly emotionally regulate ourselves all the time whether it be for calming purposes or for energy-boosting purposes, etc. Our children need our direct help to regulate themselves as well as how to learn how to regulate themselves without our help.
Mutual Regulation? When the adult and child work together to achieve a well-regulated emotional state for the child. Johns Hopkins University Dept. of Education
Self Regulation? When the child works by his or herself to achieve a well-regulated emotional state.
