Key concepts students will learn:

  • Emotions are feelings such as happiness, sadness, fear, love, and anger, and it's important to remember that there are no wrong emotions.

  • The four zones of regulation are blue, green, yellow, and red, and they help us understand and manage our emotions.

  • When you are in the red zone, you have lost control over your mind and body, and you might feel angry, devastated, or furious.
