FOCUS on Self-Regulation is a resource for educators and parents that teaches children (ages 3-8) how to manage their emotions through whole body and social-emotional games. A unique element of this book is a quick and engaging sequence of research-based activities to regulate the body and mind. It can be done by anyone, anywhere, anytime in about 5 minutes! This strategy supports the development of resiliency, builds confidence in children's abilities and relationships, and helps them exercise greater self-control in unexpected situations.
