You may hear your child refer to the Zones at home. This is something we use here at Lakeside Primary to teach students how to identify their emotions as well as trying different strategies to help them self-regulate. Check out more information regarding the Zones of Regulation below!
We experience all emotions and they are all important! It's okay to be in the Yellow, Blue or Red Zone. Our goal is not to get stuck there, but to get back into the Green Zone. To do that, we need to use a strategy. Below, you will find different strategies to help you brainstorm what works for you! Strategies help us pause so that we can take a break, name how we are feeling and make a plan. You may find that a strategy that works for you when you are in the Red Zone, may not work for you when you are in the Blue Zone. That's why we talk about building your "toolbox" of self-regulating strategies. Take a look and think of what you would put in your "toolbox".
