Lesson: Self Regulation: The ZONES of Regulation
Lesson: Self Regulation: The ZONES of Regulation
-Watch this video about the ZONES of Regulation created by a fellow counselor.
-Discussion:
The first step in regulating our emotions is recognizing our feelings throughout the day. The ZONES can help us to recognize the different types of feelings. Once you are able to recognize your feelings, it is easier to manage them. If we recognize what ZONE we are in, we can figure out the triggers or reasons that put us in the different ZONES. When we manage our feelings, we can figure out how to get to the green zone, which is the optimal zone for learning.
Families can talk about what ZONE they are in throughout the day. The next step will be figuring out the tools to manage your feelings in the different ZONES.
-Optional: Fill out this Response Form about what ZONE you are in and Mrs. Weber will respond back.
