Self-Reg: How to Help Your Child (and You) Break the Stress Cycle and Successfully Engage with Life

Thereâ€™s no such thing as a bad kid. Thatâ€™s what a lifetime of experience has taught Dr. Stuart Shanker. No matter how difficult, out of control, distracted, or exhausted a child might seem, thereâ€™s a way forward: self-regulation. Overturning decades of conventional wisdom, this radical new technique allows children and the adults who care for them to regain their composure and peace of mind.
Â
Self-RegÂ is a groundbreaking book that presents an entirely new understanding of your childâ€™s emotions and behavior and a practical guide for parents to help their kids engage calmly and successfully in learning and life. Grounded in decades of research and working with children and parents by Dr. Shanker, Self-RegÂ realigns the power of the parent-child relationship for positive change. Self-regulation is the nervous systemâ€™s way of responding to stress. We are seeing a generation of children and teens with excessively high levels of stress, and, as a result, an explosion of emotional, social, learning, behavior, and physical health problems. But few parents recognize the â€œhidden stressorsâ€ that their children are struggling with: physiological as well as social and emotional. An entrenched view of child rearing seesÂ our children as lacking self-control or willpower, but the real basis for these problems lies in excessive stress.
Â
Self-regulation can dramatically improve a childâ€™s mood, attention, and concentration. It can help children to feel empathy, and to cultivate the sorts of virtues that most parents know are vital for their childâ€™s long-term wellbeing. Self-regulation brings about profound and lasting transformation that continues throughout life. Dr. Shanker translates decades of his findings from working with children into practical, prescriptive advice for parents, giving them concrete ways to develop their self-regulation skills and teach their children to do the same and engage successfully with life for optimal learning, social, and emotional growth.
