Module 2.5: Self-regulation

Self-regulation is a key life skill essential for success in any domain. Without it we cannot break the Cycle of Reactivity. This video introduces Reboot’s 5 Faces to explicitly teach and practice self-regulation with children and young people. We explore a range of possible self-regulation practices that a child/young person can use with support and gradually on their own.

Collaborative Questions:

Are your young people motivated to self-regulate? What would be the win for them?

Can your children/young people monitor their internal states (use interoception)?

How might you use the 5 Faces with the children, young people and families that you work with?

How can you support a child/young person to build their self-regulation capacity?

Practice working through a Success @ School Plan with a partner or by yourself. Would this process be of benefit to the young people that you are working with?
