Emotional Regulation Tool

An emotional regulation tool for parents & teachers to help with their child's emotions at home or in the classroom.
It is a simple social emotional learning tool you stick to your wall to help regulate a child's emotions and increase emotional intelligence.
It also contains a smaller on-the-go version included for traveling.
The emotional direction was created by a therapist/specialist featured in "Psychology Today.” The characters and illustration were created by Amal.

HOW TO USE

STEP 1: CREATE

Hang this poster on your wall to create a peaceful space in your home or classroom where your child loves spending time, rather than a place they avoid, like a "timeout."
- Consider this a "time-in," rather than a "time-out."

STEP 2: EXPLAIN

a. Show them the children’s faces expressing different emotions while naming those emotions out loud so your child can identify those emotions when they experience them.
b. Show them how to point to where on their body they may be feeling their emotion.
c. Show them the pictures of children expressing those emotions in a healthy manner so your child knows how to express their own emotions in a healthy manner.

STEP 3: RESOLVE

When you find your child in their "big emotion moment," remove them from the area of conflict and bring them to this peaceful place, and validate their feelings by naming it to tame it.
- For example, “You are feeling angry. It's ok all emotions are welcome.” “Let it out.” “It’s ok, I am right here for you.”
- If they are kicking, biting, hitting, spitting, then name the feelings and validate them by saying, “it's ok to feel angry, but we don’t hurt others.”
- Keep it short and precise, long sentences are not registering for them in that moment.
Use this peaceful place as an area that you “connect” with your child BEFORE the meltdowns/tantrums/power struggles happen.
Toddlers need our attention. They seek attention with negative behaviors because their connection cup isn’t full. Spend at least 10 minutes a day filling their “attention cup” going over the poster with them. Teach them “all emotions are welcome," making this a peaceful learning-playful area.
