Description
Co-Regulation Handbook by Linda K Murphy is a guide for parents, caregivers, professionals, and others to create a positive learning environment for children with learning challenges. The book explains co-regulation as a way of being with, doing together, and teaching children to participate in meaningful activities.
Instead of directing and prompting children, co-regulation involves setting up activities where children have a specific role, one in which they are competent, and through which they successfully participate in the whole activity. This approach enables adults to expand children's competence through meaningful participation and harmonious interaction.
Activities included in the book are diverse and include examples such as cooking, playing games, and playdates. By adopting a co-regulation approach, adults can create a more positive and effective way of engaging with children and guiding them towards independence.
