Supporting emotions

At Woodlands, we recognise that as children grow and learn, they begin to experience different emotions. It can be difficult for them to understand and process their feelings at first.

It may take some time for your child to learn how to deal with their emotions.

We use Zones of Regulation to help children to do this in a child-friendly way. We use photos and the characters from the book The Colour Monster to support this. 

Staff use scripts and emotion coaching to help children to get back to the green zone.
