Welcome to the My First Five Years Blog. Here you will find all sorts of information, ideas and activities that will help you to support your child.
Your child has needed your help to calm down when upset, and you and they might know what helps them to calm if they are upset. You might notice your child is sometimes able to soothe themselves when they are upset and might be starting to recognise what helps them to calm down. Self-soothing or self-regulating is a difficult skill and even as adults we sometimes need support from others to regulate. Although your child might be able to self-soothe sometimes, they might often still need your support.
