Before kids can regulate themselves, they need someone to regulate with. In this episode, May Sosa psychiatric nurse, children’s book author, and mother of a neurodivergent child explores the foundational concept of co-regulation and why it’s the first step toward helping children manage their emotions.

Perfect for parents, teachers, and caregivers, this episode offers practical tips, real-life examples, and a fresh perspective on how staying calm with a child is more impactful than simply asking them to “calm down.”

We will look at:

• Why neurodivergent children benefit most from emotional connection

• What you can do in the moment—without needing to “fix” everything

• How to model emotional safety even when things feel messy

In this episode, we explore what neurodiversity really means. Learn how different brains experience the world, and why embracing neurodiversity helps create more inclusive, understanding communities—for kids and adults alike.
