Emotional regulation isn’t something children are born knowing how to do — it’s something they develop over time.
From the early years to adolescence, each stage brings new skills, challenges, and opportunities for support.

We’ve mapped out the timeline of emotional regulation development — so you can see what’s typical, what’s still emerging, and how to nurture these vital skills along the way.

Honoring the loss of another natural birth pioneer.
Dr. Michel Odent's family shared he has passed away on August 19th after a brief illness.
His legacy includes numerous books, advocating for de-medicalizing birth, encouraging instinctual birthing methods including pools and early initiation of breastfeeding.
From the website www.wombecology.com:
"Michel Odent, MD, has been in charge of the surgical unit and the maternity unit at the Pithiviers (France) state hospital (1962-1985). He is the author of the first article in the medical literature about the initiation of lactation during the hour following birth (1977), of the first article about the use of birthing pools (Lancet 1983), and of the first article applying the ‘Gate Control Theory of Pain’ to obstetrics (1975)."
What a contribution to the world of natural childbirth!
