Teacher/Staff Shout Outs

Self-regulation is the ability to understand and manage your behavior and reactions to feelings and things happening around you. It includes being able to: regulate reactions to strong emotions, calm down after something exciting or upsetting, and focus on a task.

5 Steps to Self-Regulation

• I Am- becoming aware that something has triggered an emotion
• I Calm- breathing deeply and noticing emotions without judging them
• I Feel- identifying and naming the emotion (Name it to tame it)
• I Choose- accepting the feeling and choose a calming activity to help me self-regulate
• I Solve- now in a calmer state, solve the problem that originally triggered the emotion
