and regulation.
I wouldn't recommend, in fact I I
this could work for some people, but usually this work doesn't isn't successful when you start during periods of dysregulation.
Cause I don't know many people that want to pay attention to their body when it doesn't.
Good.
Like, you know, it's uncomfortable when we're dysregulated many times.
So we want to make sure we're doing it during times of play.
So there's lots of opportunities to invite your child to notice her body, like when they're washing their hands or when you're running around on a playground or, you know, just when you're playing and their body might be experiencing a slightly like more intense sensation, but you know, in a regulated way, and invite them to pay attention to that.
Yes.
And I love that example of your child sharing the bubbly head.
For so many of our clients, including my neurodiversion clients, what we're finding is like that bubbly head feeling when they start to be able to connect it and share it with you.
That becomes, like you said, the anchor for self-regulation instead of muddying the waters with all these emotion words.
Like I do think emotion words have value when we want to share our experience with other people and have our experience understood.
But when we're just starting out and nurturing the self-regulation, if it's bubbly head and that's what we're using, then let's go with bubbly head and let's try to explore different strategies that might
Increase your bubbly head and make it more intense or decrease your bubbly head and really work with their experience.
Well, how I talk about it would depend on how old the child is.
Like if they're young, I'm probably just doing it like kind of naturally implicitly.
I'm not like really talking about this is introsception.
But as they get older, like I think understanding like that there is this sense called introsception and what it is and how it can help them is really empowering and what is happening in the brain when we're paying attention to how our body feels.
In a present moment, we know that an area of our brain called the insula is shifting, it's changing.
