De-escalation Through Co-regulation
Explore Dr Bruce Perry’s Neurosequential Model and the 3Rs of intervention — and learn how to use the right strategy at the right time to help children move from reactive stress back to safety.
When a child is in the middle of escalation, reasoning doesn’t work — because the thinking brain is offline. Effective de-escalation starts with the body, not the mind. This training introduces Dr Bruce Perry’s Neurosequential Model and the 3Rs — Regulate, Relate, Reason — giving you a clear framework for understanding which part of the nervous system you’re working with in any given moment, and how to sequence your response accordingly.
Linked to Polyvagal Theory and grounded in The BOUNCE Approach®, you’ll explore co-regulation in practice — using sensory, relational, and rhythmic approaches to help children return to a regulated state during moments of distress, overwhelm, or conflict. Includes the 6Rs of intervention and practical application to real-life scenarios. Suitable for anyone working with children who experience escalation, meltdown, or emotional dysregulation.
Three bonus resources to deepen your practice.
A structured snapshot to look beneath behaviour and identify where the regulatory barrier sits — so you can respond to what is actually happening in the nervous system.
Track entry to exit progress and evidence what has changed across the review period — giving you a clear picture of impact over time.
Understand the nervous system foundations behind regulation, emotional expression, and connection — so you can apply them with confidence in your sessions.
