What Is Self-Regulation?
At school, students are learning an important life skill called self-regulation!
Self-regulation means learning how to understand and manage our feelings, emotions, and behaviors so we can make positive choices even when things feel difficult.
WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE AT SCHOOL?
Taking deep breaths when feeling frustrated.
Using words to explain how we feel.
Taking a movement break when we need to reset.
Pausing to think before reacting.
Asking an adult for help when we need it.
Self-regulation doesn't mean we never feel angry, sad, or overwhelmed. It means learning what to do with those feelings in a safe and healthy way.
These skills take practice, and our students are learning every day! đź’™
At Foothills, we are growing not just as learners, but as people!
