Emotion Regulation During Restraint Collapse

Davidson Gifted Perspectives is a video series that examines a number of different gifted-related issues and viewpoints.

During a recent virtual event, a family was wondering how to best help their Young Scholar to emotionally regulate during restraint collapse. This Young Scholar is lashing out at others, and this family is wondering how best to course-correct that behavior.

Our Director of Family Services explains what’s happening in the brain during restraint collapse, why traditional rewards and punishments don’t usually help Young Scholars learn skills to regulate their behavior, and what does actually help.
