Co-regulation isn’t about fixing someone.
It’s about showing up — calm, steady, and present — so their nervous system can remember what safety feels like.
That’s what secure attachment really is: not perfection, but presence.

Today’s Voice of the Child post comes from a 13-year-old boy — exploring what emotional regulation really feels like at this age.

We’ll be sharing separate versions for boys and girls, because by early adolescence, emotional regulation starts to look and feel different.
Hormonal changes, brain development, and social pressures all shape how young people experience and express big feelings.

The girl's perspective was posted earlier today.

Both remind us that behind every reaction is a child learning how to feel safe with their emotions.
