Developing co-regulation in primary school means using a calm, supportive adult presence to help children manage stress and big emotions. Grounded in emotional safety, it provides the “scaffolding” children need to eventually develop independent self-regulation skills. Co-regulation is a building block for self-regulation, when an adult shares the space and supports a pupil as they move from a dysregulated state to becoming regulated.
