Zones of Regulation

Supporting Pupils with self-regulation

The Zones of Regulationis a framework, created by Leah Kuypers which was designed to “foster regulation and emotional control.” The programme aims to teach children about self-regulation by categorising all the different ways we feel and states of alertness we experience into four concrete coloured zones. The framework provides strategies to teach pupils to become more aware of and independent in controlling their emotions and impulses, manage their sensory needs, and improve their ability to problem solve conflicts.

What Are The Zones?

The zones are a self-regulation approach to behaviour that categories all the different ways we feel into different colours, which helps children to identify the way they are feeling.
