The Synergy Reset Protocol™ is a structured three-phase framework designed to help children and
families strengthen emotional regulation and executive functioning in real-life situations.
This is not behavior management. This is skill-building.
Children are not born knowing how to regulate their emotions. Regulation is learned through
experience, co-regulation, and repetition. The protocol provides a clear, repeatable structure that
families can use both during sessions and at home.
01
ACTIVATE™
Activation is intentional engagement of the nervous system. Children often move quickly into
overwhelm because their bodies do not yet recognize rising stress signals. In this phase, we safely and
purposefully activate the body and brain through structured movement, sensory input, and focused
engagement.
- Builds awareness of internal states
- Helps children recognize rising stress signals
- Strengthens tolerance for activation
02
INTEGRATE™
Integration is where skill-building happens. This phase focuses on executive functioning and emotional
processing while the nervous system is engaged but supported.
- Transition tolerance
- Impulse control
- Task initiation and follow-through
- Flexible thinking
- Recovery after frustration
Instead of shutting down or escalating quickly when something feels difficult, children practice staying
with the challenge in a supported way.
03
RESTORE™
Restore is not simply calming down. Restore is practicing recovery. Children learn how to shift their
nervous system intentionally after effort, frustration, or activation.
- Emotional recovery
- State shifting
- Self-regulation
- Co-regulation skills
Over time, children learn that activation does not have to escalate or linger. They can recover. They
can reset.
Why This Matters
When a child feels overwhelmed, the entire home feels it. Regulation is not a quick fix. It is a capacity
built over time. The Synergy Reset Protocol™ provides a structured, sustainable way to strengthen that
capacity — for children and for families.
