The Zones of Regulation:

They help us understand and manage our feelings. Everyone experiences different emotions, and that’s okay! The zones allow us to name our feelings and find tools to help us feel our best.

No zone is “bad”—our emotions change throughout the day, and that’s normal.
The goal is to recognize how we feel and use strategies to stay in or move between zones if needed.

How to Use this Padlet:

When you come in, check in with yourself.
Look at the color zones and think: How am I feeling today?
If you want, you can use the strategies and music suggestions to help you get into the zone that works best for you!
