About this episode
This episode discusses how deep pressure techniques can help children manage their emotions and return to a state of calm.
Deep pressure is one of the simplest ways to help a child's nervous system settle. In this episode of The Regulation Toolkit, we walk through how squeezes, hugs, and firm pressure can help children return to calm when emotions start to rise. Connect with VITA! www.vitapeds.com IG: @vitapediatrics
