Teaching Emotional Control Using
the Zones of Regulation
Goal:
• To help students successfully self-
regulate emotions in various
situations
• To help students visually and
verbally self identify how they are
functioning
What is self regulation?
• 1. Regulating sensory needs
• 2. Emotions
• 3. Impulses
• 4. Reaching one’s goals
• 5. Behaving in a socially appropriate way
Sensory processing- How you take in and make sense of the
information taken in by your sensory receptors ( hearing, seeing,
smelling, touching, tasting)
Executive functioning- Cognitive process which involves the
conscious control of thoughts and actions ( planning, organizing,
inhibition etc)
Emotional regulation- Controlling your emotional reaction in
order to reach your goal. This includes monitoring, evaluating, and
modifying the intensity and timing of your emotional response
****All 3 of these components depend on one another and MUST
EXIST in order to successfully self-regulate!!!! When one area is
diminished it will affect a person’s functioning in a negative way!
“Children Do Well If They Can”
( The Explosive Child, Ross Greene, 2005 )
Common misperception:
Children do not behave because they are not motivated.
Reality:
Children often do not behave because they do not know HOW
to.
Solution:
Teach kids strategies and tools to decrease their maladaptive
behaviors and increase their positive interactions.
Help is on the way………………
Introducing the “Zones of Regulation”
A curriculum designed to foster self-
regulation using a cognitive behavioral
approach
Students learn to consciously regulate
their actions which leads to increased
control and problem solving abilities
What are the Zones?
4 different colored feelings zones which help students
identify their mood or emotions. The zones can be
compared to traffic colors:
Blue Zone - Moving slowly, tired, sad, sick or bored ( rest
area)
Green Zone - Ready to learn, focused, happy , calm, feeling
okay ( green light means go!)
Yellow Zone - Nervous, frustrated, losing control, worried,
excited, silly/wiggly ( caution, slow down!)
Red Zone - Mad/Angry, Terrified, yelling, hitting, elated, out
of control ( Stop!!!!)
How to Use the Zones
Learn what each color stands for
Learn tools or strategies to use for
various zones
Put posters up in classrooms and in
common areas of school with written
tools for each zone as a visual
When a student has an issue or is
upset:
Identify which zone the student is in
Suggest a tool or ask student what
they need to return to “Green Zone”
Use strategy/tool until student calms
down
Tools/Strategies for Zones
Tools can be:
Sensory supports ( exercise, food, fidget toy, ball seat, ear phones etc.)
Cognitive strategies ( size of the problem, inner coach vs. inner critic,
Superflex vs. Rock brain)
Calming techniques ( Lazy 8 or 6 sided breathing, deep breaths,yoga, rest,
count to 10, walk away etc.)
Results:
Calming or Alerting so the student returns to the Green Zone
Better self awareness and self-confidence
More self control and the ability to pay attention to academics!
Generalizing and Integrating the Zones
•Use the language on a daily basis to get students familiar with it
•Remind students that all the zones are neutral; there are no “bad” zones!
•Gives students opportunities to guess zones of others ( characters in a
book, classmates, siblings, etc.
•Check in about how we affect each other’s zones
•Talk about triggers, what makes us have certain feelings
•What thoughts are comfortable and what thoughts are uncomfortable?
•How does our behavior affect others?
•Comment on students in the Green Zone!
