    * Provide structure and predictability. Children with self-regulation problems are internally "unstructured." The more freedom and flexibility they have, the more likely they are to demonstrate uncontrolled behaviors.
    * Anticipate transitions and announce changes in classroom schedules.
    * Reward children with good self-regulation capabilities with freedom and flexibility that will offer them opportunities for spontaneous, creative play and learning.
    * Try to identify the most "reactive" and impulsive children and keep them apart from each other. Pairing children who face these challenges can escalate the problem.
    * Remember that impulsive and aggressive children can create an atmosphere of chaos and fear that inhibit the capacity of other children to learn. Don't be afraid to immediately re-direct inappropriate words and actions. Your actions will make the rest of the children feel safer.
    * Seek help. Don't be afraid to point out a child's self-regulation problems with parents or other school personnel. Early identification and intervention can save the child and family years of failure and pain.

Purple bubbles are place to start, these are the definition-based elements of SEL.

Yellow bubbles are practical applications to try in a classroom or other context with kids!]]> 2023-05-01 03:37:23 UTC https://padlet.com/crf_williakj3/42jglwml0ipenm9k/wish/2573349213 Note on Trauma-Informed Instruction crf_williakj3 https://padlet.com/crf_williakj3/42jglwml0ipenm9k/wish/2573352630 Another piece of SEL instruction is that to be done successfully, trauma-informed instruction should be considered/done simultaneously. That is a whole separate component that cannot fit on a few bubbles here, but needs to be thought about before fully being able to implement SEL. Dr. Perry's work is a great place to start to explore the overlap of these two concepts. ]]> 2023-05-01 03:43:39 UTC https://padlet.com/crf_williakj3/42jglwml0ipenm9k/wish/2573352630
