Lesson Overview

4.78 – Helping Children Navigate Emotional Regression: Emotional regression often appears when children face stress or change, temporarily returning to younger behaviors like clinginess or tantrums. Parents should understand this as a coping mechanism, not defiance. Responding with reassurance instead of criticism helps restore stability. Consistent routines and affection remind the child of safety. Parents can gently guide them back to age-appropriate habits through encouragement. Over time, regression fades as confidence rebuilds. Teaching coping strategies during calm moments prevents future regressions. Compassionate patience during these phases shows children that emotional growth includes temporary steps backward. The key is consistency, not pressure.
