How to work on scenario-based emotional regulation at home

Scenario-based emotional regulation means rehearsing real-life emotional moments — losing a game, leaving the park — through play, stories and role-play when your child is calm, so they build words and coping strategies for when feelings run high. Start with short, playful, low-pressure practice, name feelings out loud, offer two or three calm-down choices, and praise the try rather than the result.
