Reservoir Views Primary School teaches the Zones of Regulation as part of our wellbeing.

​

What are the Zones of Regulation?

​

Concept designed by Leah Kuypers, occupational therapist teaches students:
- It gives students, teachers, and parents a common language to discuss emotions.
- The Zones of Regulation are simple for kids to understand. 
- Kids know the different colours, recognise their feelings and use strategies to move to Green Zone (calm down or feel okay). 
- Teaching healthy coping and regulation strategies allows kids to help themselves when they become stressed, anxious, or sad. 
- Typically, kids who can self-regulate will turn into teens who can self-regulate. 
- Understanding the emotions of others helps with empathy and friendship skills.
