Understanding Emotional Regulation

Emotional regulation involves managing one's emotions and responses effectively, essential for fostering a balanced classroom environment. Students, particularly those with ADHD, may struggle with emotional regulation, leading to impulsivity and aggressive behavior that disrupts others' learning. It is crucial to be aware of one's emotional state and adjust responses appropriately based on the context—this includes being able to express feelings constructively. Developing emotional awareness helps in making better decisions and coping with challenging situations.
