Welcome back to the school year.  It has been a big week and a roller coaster of change.  New classrooms, new teachers, new classmates and new routines.  All these changes can have a tiring effect on us all!  Often when our tiredness goes up, our resilience goes down.  As adults we can be mindful of this, but our little ones may struggle to communicate this.

This is where our Zones of Regulation can really help.  Why not ask your student(s) about how their lessons are going so far this week.  Can they tell you the 4 Zones and what some of the feelings are in them or the behaviours that might be expected in those zones?  Here is a bit of a refresher that you might like to use at home to facilitate these discussions.
