The Zones of Regulation

The Zones of Regulation is a framework designed to help individuals, especially children, understand and manage their emotions and behaviors. It categorizes feelings into four color-coded zones: 1. **Blue Zone** (sad, tired, or bored) 2. **Green Zone** (happy, focused, calm) 3. **Yellow Zone** (anxious, frustrated, excited) 4. **Red Zone** (angry, out of control) By identifying which zone they are in, individuals can learn appropriate strategies to regulate their emotions and transition to the Green Zone, promoting better self-awareness and self-control in various situations.
