In this third lesson of the Zones of Regulation program, children understand that it is normal to experience each zone. All of the zone colors are okay, but there are times when you should be in different zones. This activity is to reflect on times when it is expected to be in each zone.
* It is important to note that everyone experiences all of the zones – the Red and Yellow Zones are not the “bad” or “naughty” zones. All of the zones are expected at one time or another. The Zones of Regulation is intended to be neutral and not communicate judgement.
