Students -- What ZONE(S) are you in today?

Parents & Caregivers -- This is a quick activity I may do with your student at the start of a session to get a sense of how they are feeling and what interventions may be needed to help them stay in or move to the GREEN zone. However, please note that there are no "good" or "bad" zones. They are all simply a part of the human experience! Feel free to try this check-in at home. Sometimes your child may not be ready to provide an explanation for their emotion right away, but this will give a simple way for you to connect and know where they are at emotionally.
