What do I do if my older child is struggling to calm down? We all need help with co-regulation sometimes. If I feel like my child may be quite stuck in their sadness/anger/frustration.... I may ask “would you like my help to calm down or do you need more time to be sad/angry/frustrated?” If they choose help..... I may offer a hug first and then suggest activities they enjoy. Sometimes we do positive affirmations, breathing exercises, mindfulness activities, playing outside, building, art, writing, reading and imaginary play. If they say they need more time.... I may say “do you want me to stay with you or would you like some time alone?” If they say they would like time alone..... I may say “ok, I’ll just be downstairs. Let me know if you need anything.” J.
