❤️❤️❤️ Co-regulation is one of my research interests, as I have long discovered during my decade and a half long career as a School Psych that trying to work with kids and give them success was futile without also working with their caregjvers.

Empowering families is key to fostering a supportive and resilient environment for children. At the heart of pediatric care is the belief that leveraging family strengths can address social needs and enhance overall well-being. By focusing on each family's unique capabilities and resources, we create a more robust support system that benefits children’s health. By embracing a family-centered approach, we can ensure that each child receives the personalized care they need. Strengthening family dynamics not only addresses immediate social needs but also builds long-term resilience, setting children up for success and stability.

Finding the RHYTHM of a House Residential Care is often seen as the bad cousin of Foster and Kinship Care, but it doesn't have to be this way, if we truly work therapeutically.

Part of our Homes that Heal Program for Residential, Foster and Kinship Care is the RHYTHM Framework; Regulating Emotional States, Homely and Safe Environments, Yummy and Nutritious Food, Therapeutic Change Plans, Healthy Body MInd and Spirit and Maintaining the Rhythm. Getting the rhythm back when children are dysregulated in residential care can be challenging, here are some tips to help. Keep up the great work!
