Have you heard about the  ZONES of Regulation?

The Zones is a systematic, cognitive behavior approach used to teach self-regulation by categorizing all the different ways we feel and states of alertness we experience into four concrete zones.  The Zones curriculum provides strategies to teach students to become more aware of, and independent in controlling their emotions and impulses, managing their sensory needs, and improving their ability to problem solve conflicts.  

• Blue Zone- sad, tired, bored, sick

• Green Zone- The zone you want to be in for learning. Happy, calm, focused

• Yellow Zone- frustrated, worried, silly, excited

• Red Zone- mad, angry, afraid

Through our monthly counseling lessons we introduce the Zones.  Students will be able to identify their emotions and learn which strategy/tool works for them.
