Self-Regulation

Let's think and talk about how to stay regulated!

Emotions and Responses

• Emotions happen on the inside.

• Responses can happen on the inside or outside.

• Emotions and Responses are very related! We want to recognize our Emotions and then take control of our Responses.

There are 4 zones of regulation:
