Regulation

This small group is offered to grades K-2 and 3-5. We focus on teaching students emotion regulation skills to respond to situations that cause strong externalizing emotions, like anger, frustration, and impatience, to feel calmer and more skilled to make helpful choices. 

Greetings, 

Below you will find an update on what your student learned in the Regulation group session this week. The session was an introduction to the group. During this introduction, the students: 

• Learned what the purpose of the Regulation group is and how the group members will be learning and growing together. 

• Engaged in games and asked questions to get to know each other. 

• Created Community Agreements and established group norms so that each student feels safe and supported in the group.

In our next group session, we are going to learn about: 

• Strong emotions of anger and frustration.

• How we all have strong emotions and that’s okay.

• The 3Bs 

  • Brain 

  • Body 

  • Behavior 

Each week, your student will be coming home with a mission that will encourage them to notice their emotions and practice the skills they’re learning in group. Through these email communications, you’ll notice a few tips each week on how to support your student’s mission! Please reach out if you have any questions.
