Zones of Regulation

• Teach children about "zones of regulation" to help them understand and manage their emotions.
• The zones are green (calm), yellow (agitated), red (angry/distressed), and blue (tired/sad).
• Help kids recognize which zone they are in and adjust their behavior accordingly (e.g., proceed with caution in yellow, pause in red).
• It's important to validate all emotions, not just aim for "green" (calm).
• Discuss these zones outside of emotional moments to build understanding.
