Emotional Regulation Essentials

Emotional regulation is a crucial skill that infants learn primarily from their mothers during the first three years of life. When babies experience distress, it's the mother’s role to soothe them, helping them develop the ability to manage their emotions. The rise in emotional dysregulation among children and adults today points to a deeper issue, as many struggle with anxiety, depression, and ADHD, often stemming from a lack of proper emotional support during early development.
