It is very important to give children the necessary language to describe how they are feeling.
As part of our School Self-Evaluation Process, we have introduced the Zones of Regulation throughout the school. There are four coloured Zones – Blue, Green, Red, and Yellow.
A core belief of The Zones of Regulation is that all the Zones are okay. We routinely experience several of the Zones across a day. It’s critically important that we don’t convey the message that the Green Zone is the only acceptable Zone to be in. Acknowledge, accept, and support these feelings, never make anyone feel like the Green Zone is the norm.
