Webinar Recording: From ‘Time Out’ to ‘Time In’ When Supporting Dysregulated Behaviour

This webinar recording is suitable for all practitioners working with children and young people.

Removing a child or young person from a situation when they’re becoming dysregulated is familiar practice for anyone working in education or social care settings.

Traditionally, this might take the form of a ‘time out’ – leaving a child or young person alone until they appear ready to return to an activity. But would moving from a ‘time out’ to a ‘time in’ approach be a more effective approach to behaviour support?

Principal Team Teach trainer, Ali Manning, discusses how can we use time away from an activity in a purposeful way, to co-regulate, reconnect, and rebuild relationships. By doing so, Ali explains how this becomes a meaningful de-escalation strategy that creates long term change for the children and young people we support.

In this webinar, we discuss:

• • What we mean by ‘time in’ when supporting dysregulated children and young people and how this differs from ‘time out’

• • Practical ways to support co-regulation that can lead to effective self-regulation strategies

• • Ideas to structure ‘time in’ to make it effective and manageable for everyone
