1C Zones of Regulation

Date: 17th Sep 2023 @ 6:15pm

We have been learning all about The Zones of Regulation.

The Zones of Regulation is an approach used to support the development of self-regulation in children. All the
different ways children feel and the states of alertness they experience are categorized into four coloured zones. Children who are well regulated are able to be in the appropriate zone at the appropriate time. I our classroom, we have a display where the children can move their faces into the appropriate that matches how they are feeling throughout the day;

Blue Zone - tired, sad, fed up, sick, bored.
Green Zone - calm, happy, ready to learn, focused.
Yellow Zone - silly, over excited, worried, frustrated.
Red Zone - angry, out of control, terrified.

Why we use Zones of Regulation;
To teach children how to:
Identify their feelings
Be aware of what zone they are in
Start to use tools to be in the appropriate zone for the moment

How the Zones of Regulation are introduced;
Identify our own feelings using Zones language in front of your child (e.g. “I’m frustrated, I am in
the yellow zone”)
Talking about what tool we will use to be in the appropriate zone (e.g. “I’m going to go for a walk, I
need to get to the green zone”)
Labelling what zone a child is in throughout the day (e.g. “you look sleepy, you are in the blue
zone”)
Teaching children what Zones tools can be used to help them stay in the zone or move to a different zone (e.g. “you are tired, let’s read a book together in the reading area. We’re in the blue zone”)
Referring to the visuals on our lanyards when talking about zones.

Zones Tools.
Zones tools are sensory based strategies that are easily accessible within our immediate environment
Every zone is a good zone and appropriate at different times.

The children have been creating Zones of Regulation posters to help them understand different feelings and what they can do to help themselves.

As we prepare to launch our new vehical text; Major Glad, Major Dizzy; 

We had some pictures of old toys for the children to observe and talk about within a group, Encouraging them to consider the objects and how they might relate to each other. It is important to encourage the children to create links between the objects so we generated a discussion between the children about the objects using the following prompts;
• What are these objects?
• Where have they come from?
• Who might they belong to?
• Tell me about the toys...
• Do you have any toys like these?
• How do you think they might be linked?

The children came up with fabulous ideas and were able to explain their reasons for them.
