Zones of Regulation

ZONES OF REGULATION

The Zones of Regulation is an amazing way to teach kids how to identify what feeling/emotion they are feeling by applying it to one of the four colored zones. Once our students are able to identify what color zone they are in, they can then identify what they need. Often times we feel a certain way without understanding the emotion behind the feeling, especially in heightened emotional times. Students first practice identifying the zone, second what emotion is attached, and then lastly apply a coping skill that best regulates their emotions "back to the green zone."
