Zones of Regulation: Self-Monitor Thermometer

Zones of Regulation: Self-Monitor Thermometer

Print out the blank thermometer and have kids use it to self identify how much energy they spend on different emotions!

If you are new to using Zones, I highly recommend implementing it into your sessions. I use Zones and this thermometer with all my kids working on social skills, self regulation, and emotional awareness. This has been especially helpful for kids to know when to implement their calm down strategies. Whenever they move out of the "green zone" we pull out their thermometer and I ask them what zone they're in and how much energy they're using.

I have also been using this thermometer for them to do a self check after a few months and make a new thermometer. Then they compare their thermometers to see how they've changed how they use their energy.
