80. Teaching Self-Regulation Skills Through Everyday Routines

Being able to have self-regulation skills is essential for students. In this episode, I talk about how to teach self-regulation skills through daily classroom routines. I share practical strategies, including engaging activities like voice volume greetings and techniques such as five-finger breathing to help students calm down during transitions. I emphasize creating a 'control spot' or ‘calm corner’ in the classroom for self-regulation, equipped with familiar tools to support students during stress. Consistency in these practices is key as I provide additional tips for infusing self-regulation into everyday activities. In this episode I share:Everyday Routines for Self-RegulationMorning Meeting StrategiesThe Control SpotTransitioning in the ClassroomRelated Episodes:Self-Regulation and Impulse Control in Kids ~ Ep. 22Learn More:Breathing Strategies Freebie!!Social Emotional LearningEasy Self-Regulation StrategiesHelping Children Regulate Their Emotions8 Easy Impulse Control Activities for KidsSelf-Regulation SEL Resources:Impulse Control and Self-Regulation: A Social Emotional Learning UnitSocial Emotional Curriculum: Support for Students with ADHD | Executive FunctionConnect with Zeba:Instagram - @kindergartencafeFacebook - @kindergartencafeWebsite - www.kindergartencafe.orgTik Tok - @kindergartencafeMentioned in this episode:Caring Critters BooksFelipe the Feeling Frog: https://www.kindergartencafe.org/felipe/ Trixie the Thoughtful Turtle: https://www.kindergartencafe.org/trixie/
