✨ Consejo fácil para calmarse ✨ 
 
Cuando su hijo esté molesto, recuerde… todo comienza CON USTED💛 Esto se llama corregulación👇 
 
👉 Significa que su hijo utiliza la tranquilidad de usted para ayudar a calmar su cuerpo Intente esto: 
✔ Respire profundamente 
✔ Manténgase cerca y tranquilo 
✔ Ayúdele a su hijo para que se sienta seguro. 
💬 Diga: “Veo que estás molesto. Respiremos juntos.” 
 
🧠 Los niños todavía están aprendiendo a tratar con emociones intensas — aprenden al observarlo a USTED. 
 
🌱 Con su apoyo, aprenderán a calmarse por sí solos con el paso del tiempo. 
 
📚 Basado en los estudios efectuados por Harvard Health Publishing, ZERO TO THREE y Child Mind Institute sobre la corregulación.

✨ Easy calm-down tip ✨

When your child is upset, remember… it starts with YOU 💛
This is called co-regulation 👇🏽

👉🏽It means your child uses your calm to help calm their body
Try this:
✔ Take a deep breath
✔ Stay close and calm
✔ Help your child feel safe
💬 Say:
“I see you’re upset. Let’s breathe together.”

🧠 Kids are still learning how to handle big feelings—
they learn by watching YOU.

🌱 With your support, they’ll learn to calm themselves over time.

📚 Based on research from the Center on the Developing Child — Harvard University.
