Teenage Emotional Rollercoaster: Coping with Dysregulation
About
The teenager years can be an emotional rollercoaster, but in this session we are looking at the difference between normal teen emotions and emotional dysregulation.
Being emotionally dysregulated might mean a teenager feels emotions more intensely than they should, feels them for longer than they should, feels them at inappropriate times, or responds to them in extreme ways. We have invited Dr Russell Woodhead from Thriving Teens Psychology to share his thoughts on what the challenges might be and how, as parents and educators, we might be able to better support our dysregulated teens.
