In this episode of The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast, Stephanie Buckley AMFT Solution-Focused Therapist, mom to a now-thriving 22-year-old neurodivergent son, and wife of over three decades—breaks down one of the most powerful tools for emotional growth: co-regulation.
Co-regulation is more than calming words it’s how a parent’s presence, tone, and energy teach children to manage emotions. From dragon breaths in kindergarten to walking talks in middle school and respect-based listening in high school, Stephanie provides five ready-to-use scripts for each age group.
You’ll also learn:
-
How secure attachment builds confidence and resilience.
-
Why executive functioning skills like impulse control and planning are strengthened through co-regulation.
-
The role of scaffolding lending your calm until your child can manage independently.
-
How animals like dogs mirror our energy, and why kids do the same.
Whether you’re parenting a preschooler or a teen, these scripts give you the words, tools, and confidence to stay grounded and guide your child through big feelings.
Listen in, and you’ll walk away with age specific strategies that bring peace, connection, and growth to your family.
If you’d like deeper support beyond these tools, I also see clients for individual, couples, teen, and family sessions. I specialize in ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder, and I offer both in-person sessions in Hermosa Beach and virtual sessions.
Enjoy !! Thank you for being here. You’re building tools for you and your family and on your way to a path to peace!
With gratitude,
