 The second component is labeled “emotions as regulated,” which refers to the process through which the activated emotion is itself changed by deliberate actions taken by the self (e.g., self-soothing, distraction) or others (e.g., comfort).Throughout infancy, children rely heavily on their caregivers for emotion regulation; this reliance is labeled co-regulation.Caregivers use strategies such as distraction and sensory input (e.g., rocking, stroking) to regulate infants’ emotions.
