Course overview
Lesson Overview

4.7 – Teaching Kids to Self-Soothe Under Stress: Self-soothing is a critical skill that helps children regulate emotions without relying on external comfort every time. Teaching it begins with awareness—helping kids recognize when their body signals stress through tension, restlessness, or irritability. Parents can then introduce calming techniques like slow breathing, stretching, or visualization. These habits encourage a sense of internal control and safety. The goal is to empower children to comfort themselves through mindful actions rather than avoidance or outbursts. Over time, self-soothing becomes automatic during stressful moments. Parents reinforce it by practicing together and acknowledging effort, not just calm outcomes. This process strengthens the nervous system’s ability to return to balance after upset. When mastered, self-soothing lays the groundwork for emotional independence and resilience throughout life.
