Co-regulation only happens within healthy relationship & secure attachment.
With someone who is capable of regulating themselves helps a less regulated nervous system find balance.
The young persons brain & nervous system reads,”this person near me is safe & calm.”

Teens eventually outgrow parental controls. That does not mean parents lose influence. Your role shifts toward helping them build confidence, judgment, and safer online habits.
Here’s how to support that next stage:

Pupils rely heavily on the pre-frontal cortex for impulse control,thinking & cooperation which is still very underdeveloped.Under stress & in survival mode listening can be difficult,not because they are refusing,because their nervous system cannot access the skills required.🧠🌱

Arrested emotional development.

A young person from trauma related backgrounds, neglect, etc, impairs their ability to fully develop emotionally. They may look like a 12 year old but have the neuropsychological infrastructure, social and emotional skills of a 5 year old.🧠🌱

@authorfy @SteveColeBooks New You Forever looks fab! How exciting.

[Gerry🧠🌱 @gerrydiamond71]

Neuroscience shows us that when pupils are emotionally overwhelmed their brain shifts into survival mode.The cortex,part of the brain responsible for impulse control & emotional regulation reduces activity. When we help them feel safe,then the cognitive work can begin.🧠🌱
