Tips and Tricks for dealing with challenges

  • Challenge: Some children might rush through the regulation steps without fully engaging.
    Tip: The teacher should emphasize that the point is to practice the skills, not just win. The teacher can walk alongside players, modelling slow breathing or calm body language.
  • Challenge: Other children might get stuck naming emotions, so the teacher can provide a visual emotion chart at each station for support.
    Tip: If some children become too competitive, the teacher can shift the focus to team cooperation, encouraging teammates to cheer for each other’s regulation strategies.
