FUN & FUNCTIONAL PEDIATRIC OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
Emotional Regulation Group
What is a Emotional Regulation Group?
Emotions are EVERYWHERE even INSIDE us!
This 6-week group helps kids understand their feelings and know what to do with them.
​
The Cool Kids group uses concepts from the Zones of Regulation Curriculum. Your child will learn their "triggers" (things that get them in the RED Zone), and have opportunities to learn and use "tools" to promote regulation.
​
They will learn how their body "feels" when it's in the various Zones. They will also learn how their Zone and subsequent behavior impacts others' Zones. ​
Who benefits from an Emotional Regulation Group?
Does your child have "Big Feelings?" Does he go from 0-60 in 2.5 seconds? Do her emotions ever lead to out of control tantrums or even aggression? If so, your child may benefit from our Cool Kids group.
Children who will be most successful in the group will have the ability to follow simple directions and be able to separate from their parents/caregivers to attend the group.

​
