Supporting Your Child’s Self-Regulation
Sep 29, 2025
At InMind, we feel incredibly fortunate to work alongside parents and teachers—two groups of people who care deeply about children’s wellbeing and happiness. Over and over, we hear a common hope: “I just want my kids to grow up to be happy and successful.”
Of course, happiness and success look different for every child. But there’s one common thread that makes both more attainable: self-regulation.
When children develop the ability to manage their emotions and communicate effectively, they’re better equipped to thrive in school, in relationships, and eventually, in adulthood. Without these skills, it’s harder for them to achieve the kind of happiness and success we envision for them.
The good news? Childhood and adolescence are the best times to build self-regulation. Kids’ brains are more flexible and primed for learning than adults’, making it easier to practice and internalize these skills. And let’s be honest—teaching self-regulation doesn’t just help kids in the long run. It also makes daily life smoother for parents and teachers right now.
That’s why we’ve put together a free resource just for you: Supporting Your Child’s Self-Regulation. In it, you’ll find practical strategies to support kids in becoming more self-aware, managing their emotions, and building the foundation for a healthier, more successful future.
Kids will always experience big (and small) feelings. But when we give them the tools to navigate those emotions, we’re setting them up for long-term success—and giving ourselves a little more peace of mind along the way.
