    Coregulation with Marc Brackett

    When I heard about coregulation from Marc Brackett years ago, it changed the way that I parent. It actually changed how I behave in most of my relationships and has given me a whole new awareness of what goes on when our kids have big feelings. I learned all of this from Marc Brackett and I’m so excited to spread the knowledge with all of you.  Marc is professor at Yale and founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence. Coregulation is really the key to life. Marc explains how you can't help your child co-regulate if you can't self-regulate yourself, why there's no such thing as a bad emotion, and the critical difference between anxiety, stress, and overwhelm.  Marc introduces the concept of creating an Emotional Intelligence Charter with your family during calm moments, rather than waiting for meltdowns to happen. From handling bedtime battles to managing your own triggers, Marc offers practical tools like asking yourself "Will this matter in a week?" and reminds us to be curious explorers rather than a critical judges of emotions. Whether you're a parent or simply want to improve your own emotional well-being, Marc reminds us it's never too late to build these skills.  Order his book "Dealing With Feeling" here https://go.shopmy.us/p-42655649  Please join us on YouTube for our full conversation and many more on video!
