👉 To dictate policy.

Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! That dictionary definition – “to dictate policy” – is part of what ‘regulated’ means, you see. But it’s not the whole story, no, no, no! Let's think about it like this: imagine a busy playground. If there aren't any rules, it can get quite chaotic, right? Kids might run too fast, or push each other – a bit of a fright! Regulation is all about setting boundaries and guidelines. It’s like the grown-ups stepping in to make sure things are safe and fair. They don't dictate everything with a single voice (though they might give instructions!), but they establish rules that everyone needs to follow. So, 'regulated' means controlled or governed by established rules or laws. Think of it like this: A food company is regulated by health standards. A driver’s license is regulated by the DMV. Even our classroom has regulations - we listen to the teacher and follow directions! Does that rhyme help you understand a little better? Do you have any questions about what ‘regulated’ truly means, beyond just “dictating policy”?
