Parenting children is not easy, especially that they can really be unpredictable. Not to mention, as they are still in their early stage of development, both mentally and physically, regulating their behavior can truly be a difficult task.

As an early intervention OT practitioner, emotional regulation comes up almost every day. This book is an amazing and extensive resource for myself, other providers outside of OT, and parents. Looking forward to bringing my learned knowledge into my practice. The sections are broken down so well and I loved the sensory and ADL pieces.
