Teaching Emotional Regulation to Toddlers

In this new series Lauren is going back to the beginning for some re-introductions. From how she got her start with The Behavior Hub to her current role with the University of Pennsylvania, Lauren walks us through her growth as an expert in the brain and human behaviors.

She also gives us a re-introduction to the Returning To Us podcast. The goal of the podcast is to give people the information and tools they need to return to a regulated, balanced nervous system state.

And, with the spirit of getting back to basics in mind, Lauren spends time re-introducing the strategies and tools needed to teach emotional regulation to really young kids.
