SELF-REGULATION

30 Games and Activities

When we talk about self-regulation in kids, we’re referring to the ability to maintain an arousal level that is appropriate for any given situation.

Self-regulation also involves having the ability to generate appropriate behavioral and sensory responses to the input in different situations and daily routines and the ability to demonstrate self control: to monitor and control behavior, attention, motor output, emotions, and social interactions. These games can help improve those skills.
