Self-regulation is one’s ability to control emotions and reactions to a given situation. Many have struggled with a variety of emotions over the past two years as we have navigated unprecedented times and a global pandemic. Parents and children alike might experience anxiety surrounding returning to school. What will it look like? Will it be safe? Will my child be able to learn? Will they be able to play with friends?
