Zones of Regulation

At Westwoood, we use Zones of Regulation to teach pupils how to identify, understand and manage their emotions. There are four zones, blue, red, green and amber. Zones of Regulation is a range of activities to help your child develop skills in the area of self-regulation. Self-regulation can go by many names, such as self-control, self-management and impulse control. It is defined as the best state of alertness of both the body and emotions for the specific situation.

Staff at Westwood model the four zones within every day teaching. We teach children that we move throughout the zones within a day and that this is OK.
