Zones of Regulation
The Zones of Regulation is the original framework and curriculum (Kuypers, 2011) that develops awareness of feelings, energy and alertness levels while exploring a variety of tools and strategies for regulation, prosocial skills, self-care, and overall wellness. This curriculum provides us an easy way to think and talk about how we feel on the inside and sort these feelings into four colored Zones, all of which are expected in life.

Network Hand
My network hand is an activity that will help children to identify a support system that they can use if they need help. It requires them to identify ‘network people’ such as parents or guardians, family members, teachers, and so on. The network people should be adults they trust and who listen to them.
This can be used as a tool for safeguarding or simply to open a conversation about the key people in a child’s life and how they can support the child’s health needs.
