The Early Years
The Early Years is the newest resource written with co-author and TRC® Lead Trainer Consultant, Chrissy Dagostino.
The Early Years is intended for providers, teachers and parents of young children. It’s a play-based guide to co-regulating with young children (birth to age 7).
It’s the same science and framework of The Regulated Classroom® 6th Edition Guidebook with an emphasis on operationalizing the science of attachment.

We are so delighted that you have discovered our new early childhood guidebook and we hope it will be exactly the kind of resource you need at this moment!
Are you a teacher, parent, or early childhood provider who is struggling with hard behaviors, at school or at home?
Are you seeing:
Big, explosive behaviors that feel unpredictable
Sensory struggles (meltdowns, shutdowns, constant movement)
Power struggles that leave everyone exhausted
A cycle of rewards and consequences that just isn’t working
Children who seem overwhelmed, disconnected, or hard to reach
Your own stress rising as you try everything you thought would work but doesn’t
If so, you’re not alone. And more importantly, there is another way to understand and support what’s happening.
In this brand new resource, we bring together the science of the nervous system and felt safety (Dr. Stephen Porges), the science of attachment (Dr. Allan Schore and Dr. Ed Tronick) and the science of play (Dr. Peter Gray) to offer a highly effective and practical play-based approach to co-regulating with young children. Not only does this guidebook (rooted in The Regulated Classroom’s evidence based framework) offer the things “to do,” but it benefits the adults and the children simultaneously.
The Regulated Classroom® has partnered with CESA (Cooperative Educational Service Agency) 7 to bring this transformative professional development opportunity to educators and parents, reflecting their commitment to fostering positive early experiences. This is a public event; anyone is welcome to register!
