Zones of Regulation

At Ribble Drive Primary School, we recognise the importance of promoting positive mental health and emotional well being to our students and their families. We aim to create an open culture around the discussion of mental health and well being to empower our pupils to be able to regulate their emotions. Over this half term we will be implementing the Zones of Regulation curriculum across the school. We aim to teach our pupils to identify emotions in themselves and others and provide them with a bank of strategies to help regulate their emotions and improve their well being. 

 

The Zones of Regulation is based around the use of different emotions to help pupils self identify how they're feeling. It helps our pupils to better understand their emotions, sensory needs and thinking patterns. The children learn different strategies to cope and manage their emotions. Additionally, Zones of Regulation helps pupils to recognise their own triggers, learn to read and understand facial expressions, develop problem solving skills, and become more attuned to how their actions affect themselves and others.
