Tools/Coping Skills

Post date: Dec 4, 2016 10:45:38 PM

This weeks lessons will continue with the Zones of Regulation. We have spent the past weeks learning how to identify our feelings and what zone they are in; blue, green, yellow, red. We have also talked about how our bodies feel in the different zones and what may trigger us to go from one zone to the other. The students have done an excellent job understanding this new way of thinking about their emotions!

The students are ready to learn about tools. Tools are things we can do to keep us in the green zone or move us back to it quickly. Tools can also be thought of as coping skills. I will teach them over 50 in class and we will try several of them out. If you would like more information regarding how you can support your student with developing their tools/coping skills, head over to my blog (see above) for a post regarding this.
