Emotional regulation plays a key role in helping pupils manage their behaviour, build relationships and engage successfully in learning. Across EYFS and primary, the children are still developing the ability to recognise and respond to their emotions, which is why structured support is so important.
This collection includes a range of emotional regulation activities, self regulation strategies and practical classroom resources to support pupils at different stages of development.
Many teachers are looking for simple, effective ways to support behaviour without disrupting learning. These emotional regulation resources include calming strategies, visual supports and structured activities that help the children reflect on their feelings and make positive choices.
You can also support this work through a dedicated calm space using our calm corner resources, or introduce regular routines with our mindfulness resources.
Supporting pupils to manage emotions is a key part of emotional wellbeing and PSHE. These resources help the children develop emotional language, recognise triggers and apply simple calming strategies throughout the school day.
