ABSTRACT
Children may experience a range of social and emotional difficulties, which will be presented and communicated in different ways. Children will usually communicate their needs through various behaviours, either becoming withdrawn and isolated, or using distressed behaviours that the peoples might describe as challenging. These behaviours can indicate an underlying unresolved need such as experiencing anxiety, stress or depression. The adult and child's interactions sync up both emotionally and physically, and so the emotional regulation of the adult is felt by the child. Co-regulation refers to the supportive, interactive process between an adult and child when a child is learning to manage, moderate and regulate their emotional experiences. The ability and skill of helping to hold and contain a child's emotions are important in the development of later self-regulation. Privacy spaces, however, can be useful for children with special educational needs & disability because sometimes their behaviour is triggered by the environment and other children.
