Zones of Regulation
Self-regulation is something everyone works on as we encounter circumstances that test our limits. If we are able to recognise when we are becoming less regulated, we are able to manage our feelings and reactions to events.
Self-regulation comes naturally for some, but, for others, it is a skill that needs to be taught and practised as we all encounter circumstances that test our limits from time to time.
At Summit Point, we use the internationally acclaimed Zones of Regulation programme every day at Morning and Afternoon Circles. This explicitly and systematically teaches your child how to better self-regulate by categorising their feelings and states of alertness into four coloured zones. The framework provides personalised strategies to teach your child to become more aware of and independent in controlling their emotions and impulses, manage their sensory needs, and improve their ability to problem solve conflicts.
