Teaching Concepts for Social Self-Regulation

Social self-regulation is so much more than simply regulating what we do or say. Social self-regulation involves thinking about thinking (metacognition) and starts with an awareness of our own thoughts, emotions, anxieties, and the role they play in how we interpret others’ words and actions and, in turn, how ours are perceived and interpreted by others. Social self-regulation gives us the tools to work, play, learn, and communicate in groups—and is vital to achieving our personal and group goals. But for many individuals (Neurodivergent and neurotypical children/students/clients) with social thinking needs, it’s not that simple. Social self-regulation requires social awareness, social interpretation, and social problem solving to decide how to respond (or not) across a range of diverse settings and situations. It’s an internally driven journey—very different from external mandates or reward-driven programs that prescribe how to behave in a specific time and place.
