The Baffling Behavior Show {Parenting after Trauma}
EP 192: Is Co-Regulation Just Coddling??
Almost every time I teach, especially if there are folks in the audience not already familiar with my work or the concept of co-regulation, someone asks the very valid question of-
“Isn’t this (co-regulation) just coddling?”
Fair question! There are a lot of underlying assumptions and fears in this question that we will deconstruct in today’s episode.
Spoiler: Co-regulation is NOT coddling!
In this episode, you’ll learn
- The difference between co-regulation and coddling
- Why asking this question helps us understand some of our fears
- What trust has to do with co-regulation
Resources mentioned in this podcast:
- Self-Regulation Doesn't Exist!!
- What Does Co-Regulation Really Look Like? {EP 81}
- Enabling vs. Low-Demand Parenting {Ep 144}
