Regulatory Disorders

Regulatory disorders refer to challenges children face in managing their emotions, behaviors, and responses to sensory experiences. In the context of Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics, these issues can impact a child's ability to self-soothe, pay attention, or cope with changes in their environment. This may result in difficulties with routines, social interactions, or transitions. Regulatory disorders can manifest in various ways, including excessive crying, tantrums, or withdrawal. Understanding these challenges is crucial for parents and caregivers, as appropriate support and strategies can help children develop better self-regulation skills, leading to improved overall well-being and functioning.
