16.01.2022 Zones of Regulation is an awesome tool that helps people visualize the status of their body on a scale. The language they use is colour coded and can be very useful when needing a common language to describe emotional status. At Coningsby we use the zones to help us recognise how we are feeling and to help us learn strategies to regulate our emotions. ... There are no wrong zones, it is about recognising emotion and developing the capability to regulate choices. The visual below helps students and adults recognise how they are feeling and provides strategies to help them return to the green zone ~ which is the optimal zone for learning. #emotionalintelligence #recognisewhatishappening #strategies #beyourbestself #kidslearningabouthemselves #howdoyoufeel?
