They delve into the term "dysregulation" and its internal and external aspects regarding emotional events. The discussion takes a deep dive into the science behind dysregulation and its effects physiologically and neurologically. The conversation continues with strategies that parents can practice to regulate their emotions, including mindfulness and practicing gratitude with their children. The speakers also highlight the importance of modeling emotions and communication to help children develop emotional skills. Tune in to learn about emotion regulation skills and how they take time to develop while requiring patience, repetition, and grace.
Dr. Cindy Hovington is a neuroscience Ph.D. based in Montreal. Her research focused on schizophrenia and psychosis in youth, particularly the emotional and cognitive aspects of mental health. As a parent, she struggled with handling her children's tantrums despite her extensive knowledge on brain development and emotion regulation. This inspired her to start the blog Curious Neurons, primarily discussing the science of emotions and child development. Recently, she has shifted her focus to emotional and mental health in both children and parents, extending her work to a free resource for parents. She also created an app called Wonder Grade for children aged three to eight, aimed at teaching emotion regulation skills. Cindy is dedicated to sharing her knowledge and helping others manage big emotions effectively.
