Over the past few weeks as I have shared coffee and tea with other Moms- the topic of dysregulation has been at the core, so I decided to research and share with you my finding!

Ok, so like, WOW - A parent who has emotional dysregulation will also struggle to teach their child how to regulate emotions. Since children are not naturally born with emotional regulation coping skills, having a parent who cannot model effective coping puts a child at risk for emotional dysregulation themselves.

The signs of dysregulation look similar to sOoOo many other things!

1. Overly intense emotions

2. Impulsive behavior

3. Lack of emotional awareness

4. Trouble making decisions

5. Inability to manage behavior

6. Avoids difficult emotions

Long story- to my understanding of a point; aggressive parenting yields aggressive children while calm parenting yields regulated children.

Of course, I would like to start some conversational dialogue- post your comments below!
