Reposted by Mark JennerGerry Diamond. @gerrydiamond1971.bsky.social · 22/03/2026Many young people grow up in environments where regulation may not have been consistently modelled. This is where educational settings play a crucial role because this is the first place they experiences co-regulation & calm with an adult.🧠🌱 032
