How to Regulate Emotion Post-COVID with Kailyn Fullerton

Today, my podcast guest, Kailyn Fullerton, who is an teacher, a
bonus-mother, an EdD candidate in social and emotional learning,
and an expat, shares her insights on the emotional shift many
have experienced post-COVID, and shares some practical strategies
about how we can learn to regulate emotions better for ourselves
and our kids. 

For some, the COVID-19 pandemic was a chance to slow down a
little and catch up on life and connections.  For others
COVID-19 was an incredibly stressful time of uncertainty,
overwhelm homeschooling children, having to be present with
stressful relationships, and worrying about work, the economy,
and our health, and the world. 

COVID-19 certainly isn't "over" but many of the adjustments we
made seem to be back to more similar COVID-19 patterns. 
However, many feel like their ability to deal with the same
stressors we had before the pandemic are less robust.  
After months of being at home, social anxiety is higher. 
We've also lost the ability to regulate emotions in challenging
situations.  This is especially true for children who
weren't learning through interacting with classmates
frequently.  Teachers are seeing kids who aren't able to
regulate emotions in the classroom.
