We hope your school year is off to a good start! Throughout the year we will continue to have a Tool of the Month to promote self-regulation based on the Zones of Regulation Program. The Program was created by Occupational Therapist Leah Kuypers to teach children to identify how they are feeling and strategies to help them self-regulate. There are four zones: the blue zone (low energy or sad), the green zone (relaxed, content), the yellow zone (a little too much energy, worried or excited), and the red zone (too much energy or angry). See our Zones of Regulation page for more details.
The Tool of the Month for September is Yoga. Yoga helps manage stress, build concentration, increase confidence, improve organization, and regulate breathing. Yoga is a healthy movement break that can be done in any setting. One position to try is the tree pose.
We encourage you to ask your child what the "Tool of the Month" is and try it at home!
