New Resource on Pediatric Regulation
The Regulation Playbook: A DIRFloortime® Guide to Connection and Development
A comprehensive, relationship‑based approach to regulation and sensory processing.
Grounded in the DIRFloortime® model and intervention, The Regulation Playbook illustrates how development is strengthened through affective engagement, attuned interactions, and individualized support. Readers will learn how following a child’s interests promotes shared attention, purposeful engagement, and the emotional connection necessary for meaningful progress.
The text highlights the essential role of “just‑right” challenges, positive experiences, and warm relationships in building regulation skills—particularly for children who struggle to self‑regulate. It also emphasizes the importance of adult self‑reflection, sensory awareness, and regulation strategies to optimize co‑regulation and therapeutic effectiveness.
A comprehensive set of worksheets helps parents and caregivers understand their child’s individual differences and sensory processing profile while discovering meaningful ways to connect and fuel development. Appropriate for both clinical and home use, The Regulation Playbook empowers adults to build warm, responsive relationships that nurture regulation and help children thrive.
