Sensorimotor Grounding for Children and Caregivers
Children learn to calm down by borrowing calm from the adults around them. Researchers call it co-regulation. This 28-day practice gives caregivers simple, playful routines built on touch, rhythm and steady presence, for children ages 4 to 12, working through the body as well as through words.

Draws on co-regulation research, including Tronick's still-face studies, which show how strongly young children respond to a caregiver's attention and calm, and developmental frameworks from Perry and Schore. The practice pairs gentle tactile grounding with rhythm, led by a caregiver who works on their own regulation first.
The core idea is well supported: children do regulate through calm, responsive adults. The specific routines in this book are practical applications of that research, not a clinically tested program.

This is a family practice, not therapy. It doesn't diagnose or treat developmental, sensory-processing, attachment or trauma-related conditions. If your child has those needs, or you're worried about how they're doing, talk with their pediatrician or a licensed child therapist and share this practice with them. Stop any activity your child doesn't want to do.
Education and self-practice, not medical or mental-health care. These protocols don’t diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition.
