Emotion regulation in children is the gradual ability to understand, manage, and respond to intense feelings. This PARENT LAB will provide parents with information and strategies to help support a child when they are emotionally dysregulated. YFS School-based Counselors, Laura Falsgraf (Clinical Supervisor) and Julie Mattson (Lakeridge) will also discuss when you should seek outside support for you and/or your child. YFS is here to help!
