- Co Regulation Learning
Co-regulation is the way one person’s calm, attuned nervous system helps settle another’s — a baby soothed in a steady caregiver’s arms is the original example, but it runs through adult relationships too. It works through attunement: tone, pace, presence, and matched-then-led calm. Drawn from developmental and relational research, it is presented here as an everyday skill for giving and receiving support, not as therapy.
