Self-regulation is the ability to manage your emotions and behaviour effectively, including being able to emotionally fight off highly emotional reactions to unwanted stimulus, to use calming strategies when you get upset, to adjust to a change in expectations, and to handle frustration without dysregulation.
Self regulation strategies to help children manage their own behaviour: • Mindfulness activities • Sensory/movement breaks • Fidget toys • Naming emotions and discussing the physical responses • Providing a place of enclosure/escape
