Supporting Youth Development: Co-Regulation Strategies
About the Topic
Join us as we discuss “Supporting Youth Development: Co-Regulation Strategies”.
Self-regulation is fundamental to healthy relationships and is therefore a key target for youth-focused relationship education.
Youth experience critical brain development that is enhanced by adult co-regulation support. Co-regulation is the supportive process between caring adults and youth that fosters self-regulation. Co-regulation includes developing and maintaining warm relationships, collaborating with youth to co-create supportive environments, and coaching and modeling the use of skills that promote self-regulation.
Integrating a co-regulation framework and teaching program staff to provide co-regulation support may improve youth and program outcomes.
