Raising a child isn’t like baking a cake. There is no recipe. Not just because every child is different, and will grow up to be is perfectly unique. Or because the world is constantly changing. But because the stresses they must learn to cope with are constantly shifting.

[Stuart Shanker & Co. @StuartShanker]

It’s essential that we learn how to manage stress: our own first, before we can help others we care about—our #children and families, friends and co-workers— manage theirs. #SelfReg #ECE

[Stuart Shanker & Co. @StuartShanker]

If you have a child that is thriving, despite the lockdown, despite the difficulties in #education, that "why?" is as important as the child for whom we're saying "why not?" #ParentingInAPandemic

[Stuart Shanker & Co. @StuartShanker]

The development of the ego originates in two amorphous states: “pleasantness” and “unpleasantness.” The baby acquires an undifferentiated sense of “We” from which she constructs a mental representation of her caregiver as a distinct entity, a “You” and from there, a “Me.”

[Stuart Shanker & Co. @StuartShanker]

The emotional core of a baby’s developing ego is shaped by early We-interactions: so much so that if a caregiver reacts to the baby’s angry outburst with anger of her own, or suddenly breaks off an interaction, the baby’s sense of self will be imprinted by these emotional tinges.

It’s time to say something more about the major influence on my thinking. I began my training under Stanley in the year 2000. The first thing he had me work on was The Development of the Ego. Tap to read more. #CoronavirusConversations https://t.co/FEgA2DIhLy

A question for everyone today: how might you respond to children’s behaviour differently if you realized that they were in survival brain rather than social brain?

[Sally Ghaemi she/her @SallyGhaemi]

There is no “should” or shaming in morality. Like Self-Reg, morality is a whole brain phenomenon. How do we hold space for & nurture the tension between the opposites, the rationalizations of the blue brain and the emotional pull of the red brain, until something new is born?

I've learned a lot about paying attention on my dauthers during this Corona time. It's all about @Self_Reg. @RootsofEmpathy @susanhopkins5 @StuartShanker https://t.co/DKAn9rW7qo

Self-regulation is the foundation of healthy human development and it's our mission to ground learning and living in #SelfReg, no matter your age.

In this new #SelfReg Blog, kindergarten #teacher and #SelfRegger @avivaloca shares some valuable lessons she has learned from Self-Reg to help during these very different and challenging teaching days. #teachingfromhome

[Stuart Shanker & Co. @StuartShanker]

In @Self_Reg, we are always asking Why: especially when we can feel a moralistic judgement just itching to come out. But #SelfReg isn’t just about distinguishing between misbehaviour & stress behaviour: the next step is to reduce the stresses that we can. https://t.co/HvdfG4FaOK

I'll be chatting with @susanhopkins5, @AngieRosati & @lisataylor985 this Wednesday evening for our monthly #TMCTalks. If you know someone who might benefit from this chat, please feel free to tag them in my Replies. #Teachers & #parents everywhere are welcome! #SelfReg #ECE

This is powerful for all of us as adults. We can all find ourselves in various places on this chart on various days, but so important to be self-aware and get ourselves back to regulated. thx @Self_Reg ^tm

[The MEHRIT Centre @Self_Reg]

A certain amount of stress is healthy for us. 💯
