Zones of Regulation 

Something that we use in school to help kids identify their emotions. Check in with your kids twice a day to identify what zone they are in. 

Your child can use a statement like “I feel___ beacause____.”  Kids can’t always communicate why they are feeling a certain way.  This is an ongoing learning process.  

This is another great tool to help with expressing of emotions.  "I feel _____. I'm in the ______ zone."  Example, "I feel focused because I'm in the green zone."  This tool helps identify how someone is feeling as well as checking it with the zone.

Try this calming sequence. Does it feel good and calming? How can you change it so that it works for you?
