Valentine Community Schools knows that early childhood is a period of rapid brain development that paves the way for growth towards self-regulation. Self-regulation can be defined as the act of managing thoughts and feelings to enable goal-directed actions. This means, for instance, finding ways to cope with strong feelings so they don’t become overwhelming; learning to focus and shift attention; and successfully controlling behaviors required to get along with others and work towards goals. Supporting self-regulation development in early childhood is an investment in later success and that is why we are supporting 20 spots at the upcoming Zone Your Home training (online) on Tuesday, September 26th from 5:00-7:00pm. This training introduces parents, daycare providers and others to common language used at Valentine Elementary School and helps provide a framework for discussing feelings and behaviors with your children so that they can manage them and get back on track. If you are interested in learning more or participating in the training please contact Shawna Fullerton at sfullerton@vcsbadger.net to get signed up. Zone Your Home: The Zones of Regulation Parent/Caregiver Training Description: (2.0 clock hours) Is your child struggling to manage their feelings? Are you unsure how to help them through their anxiety, anger or sadness? Join us to learn strategies and practical tools using The Zones of Regulation framework. This 2-hour session will define self-regulation and co-regulation and highlight the basics of using The Zones in your home. We will explore how to set up check-ins and visual supports, identify triggers, build a toolbox of regulation strategies and create daily structures to help your child and family thrive. Participants can expect to: • Understand regulation and ways to support it • Gain a basic understanding of The Zones of Regulation • Get hands-on, easy-to-use strategies for using The Zones at home, including: • Practical Zones visuals and Zones friendly language • Learn to do a Check-In with your child as a way to build emotional awareness • Explore regulation tools and strategies

Valentine loves you!
