Educators can teach emotional regulation by modeling calm behavior, teaching emotional awareness through tools like feeling charts, and creating a safe environment that includes a "calm-down corner". To increase use at home and other settings, educators should collaborate with families by providing them with these strategies and suggesting ways to integrate them through activities like role-playing, story-telling, and physical play.

Educators can:

Educate families: Provide families with the same strategies used in the classroom through workshops, take-home guides, or parent-teacher communication.

Suggest role-playing: Encourage families to use role-playing to act out emotional scenarios and practice problem-solving together.

Encourage storytelling: Read stories and discuss how characters might feel and what they could do to manage their emotions.

Promote warm and responsive interactions: Advise parents to respond warmly to their child's emotional cues and use positive attention to build strong relationships.

Create structured routines: A predictable daily schedule can give children a sense of security, which reduces stress and frustration.

Foster collaboration: Work with families to create a consistent and supportive environment that reinforces emotional regulation skills across all settings.
