Description
This printable quick-check sheet guides educators through three co-regulation steps: noticing signs of stress, connecting calmly with a child, and coaching a strategy. Checklists and prompts help you identify cues such as a tense body or louder voice, name the feeling, offer two choices, and note what helped. Keep it handy during challenging moments and use it afterward to reflect on strategies for next time. The cover does not state an age range or page count.
