thank you ms. chohan and Mr. Collins

11/23/2018

In the morning we had SOAR assembly and learned about what the S-Supportive means and looks like. We saw some great skits showing us how we can be SUPPORTIVE at school. After recess Mr. Collins taught a lesson on natural selection. You used coloured dots to represent pray and students were the predators. In the afternoon, we did our 2nd ecosystem observation, finished up our comparing fractions inquiry and then worked on or Op Art projects. This is the last day of Ms. Chohan and Mr. Collins short practicum. We will see them next Thursday and then not again until January. Thanks for supporting the learning in our classes, we really enjoyed having you both here at Laurier where, as you know.........#THE LEARNINGNEVERSTOPS!!!!!

The students enter the class but are very loud so the teacher reminds the students of the c chart.

Self regulation is an important skill for many reasons. One reason is that self regulation can reflect on how you pay attention in class. If you don’t self regulate you might not pay attention in class and forget what the teacher has talked about. You must self regulate to control yourself and to make sure you and others don’t get hurt.

I have trouble self regulating some times and it’s hard for me to control it. But there is one strategy that I use to help me. This strategy i take a deep breath in and then out.

Some other ways you can self regulate are breathing, looking at the c chart again. Rewrite the c chart and put it on a sticky note on your desk. Lastly you can always ignore whoever’s talking to you.

In conclusion i think that self regulation is an important skill to keep you focused in class.

As children return to class from break, the teachers will be preparing for another lesson. We walk into class with out following or noticing the c-chart that we've all agreed on in the beginning of the year. We were called to go back outside and come back quietly again.

Self regulation is very important in life. In order to be successful you need to self regulate first. Self regulation can help with your thinking and thoughts. Self regulation is calming down when you need to and also respect and be flexible about others ideas or opinions. Scientists show that people that have been self regulating and patient will get you to a better life and a better future too. If one can't self regulate teach them or help them. Do your best to help them because it will help in the future.

There are times where I have not self regulated at school and home. From playing loud music in my rock when it's late at 10:00pm to being loud in the classroom without noticing it. Sometimes when I'm bored I take my speaker and play loud music until it's late at 10 or 11pm. I probably woke up my neighbors so that's not good. So I ether not play it loudly or not play until late. In times after a basketball game or whatever game I was playing, I will become very energetic and loud when entering class. I wasn't using my inside voice ether.

Some ways I use to self regulate myself is to calm down before coming to class. Like sometimes after a game I would be very energetic and loose my mind and be very loud. I tend to walk slowly to class and not jump and run to class because it's going to make it worse. So I walk slowly and enter class. If I'm in a situation where I'm not self regulating, I'll just walk away from it and clam down and then come back. I use these tips when I'm in a situation I'm not supposed to be.

In conclusion, I think that self regulation is one of the key points to a successful life and school year. With self regulation, things will be a lot easier and simple. Because you're better at socializing and more open to others thinking.

Everyone in division one are in two bad. People are arguing and quarreling. Criteria charts ripped, classroom in disorder. Mr. Fisher has gone insane. War has begun.

Why? Because everyone forgot to self regulate. Self regulation is a vital essence to our daily success. It may not only benefit you in class, but also during other events. It is important to self regulate whenever possible, for it will significantly change your results.

The importance of self regulation is the base of everything. It will help us during our work, from project based learning to worksheets. It can help us by bringing a more tranquil environment or preventing distraction.

Often, I self regulate. However, when I am involved with major distractions, I usually forget to regulate. Another time where I do not regulate is when I am socializing with friends. I often forget what I am doing. Consequently, I get mislead and forget to regulate.

One strategy I might use is to pay close attention to the criteria for the current subject. This give one a guideline of what to do. Paying close attention to your environment can also prevent a drastic event from happening. For example, if Mr. Fisher and Mr. Hong are having an important discussion, it would be self-explanatory to regulate your volume.

In conclusion, self regulating is vital for our susses, not only for our personal successes, but everyone's.

Many students may not have self regulating skills. Specifically, they do not listen to each other, argue with each other, and sometimes even fight with each other.

Therefore, in order to be successful at school and in a community students should know when and how to self-regulate themselves.

Some students can't self-regulate themselves when play video- games, while others unable to self-regulate themselves when they work in a group at school.

In order to self-regulate themselves better in class students should respect other people's opinion, speak quietly, and be polite.

I: The importance of self-regulating

It's a rainy afternoon, the bell rang and everyone returned back to their classroom. But you are so pumped and excited to enter the door to learning that you went crazy out of excitement. You forgot to self-regulate.

First of all what is self-regulation and how does it benefit both others and yourself? Self-regulating is how you can control your own behavior, actions and volume around others. This is beneficial to others because everyone needs some peace and quiet to complete their work. Better yet you can help yourself by regulating so that you can keep quiet to focus and complete your own work without distraction yourself or others. However not everyone is perfect and there will be times you simply cannot regulate yourself and possibly might have distracted others from completing their work.

I am no exception. Most of the time I do a pretty good job of self-regulating but I still do need a friendly reminder by Mr. Fisher every now and then. One time I wasn’t self-regulation and I was talking to someone else, therefore both the student and I could not focus on our assignment and couldn't finish it.

There are many ways to help yourself to self-regulate, maybe even meditating can help you! However I reading a book or just draw quietly can greatly help you to self-regulate or calm down. It works the best, but for me I mostly just sit down quietly and think about things.

Self-regulating can be a great help to both you and everyone else to concentrate on their work. So next time always try to self-regulate your volume and actions anywhere you go, this apply to teachers as well!

Self regulation is an important skill because it will help ones social and academial life in the future. Emotional self regulation is very important and useful because one needs to control his emotions several times a day to avoid conflicts. Ex- There is a boy playing basketball. Some bullies arrive and start saying that the boy is terrible at basketball. The boy instead of fighting the bullies or throwing the ball to hurt them he uses his self regulation skills and keeps playing on his own.

Self regulation is a very important skill because it helps to control ones emotions. These skills help us in our lives in many ways like when- you can't concentrate on a task because you're environment is not self regulated, you're too excited for something, you're being bullied, or when you are angry at someone. The solution to all this is self regulation which is not something easy. To self regulate one needs strategies. Sometimes I need to self regulate my emotions, volume and actions in order to avoid conflicts and my strategy is to take 3 deep breaths.

Oh come on do you really have to argue with her about the dumbest thing! I was so frustrated hearing my friends argue. I was literally in the red zone.

Self-regulation is super important. Thats what helps us feel more positive and or help us stay in focus. When your mad, sad or worried you often get side trackted. When your at school it could really affect your pearning and even sometimes hurt your peers. Always self-regulate to stay safe, focused and positive.

I usually get into the red zones when I have to listen people argue when literally the arguememt is very irrelevant. Also, I find that it mostly happens when we have group projects. That makes me more frustrated because now we cant finish our project.

To help me in those times I usually just step out for a bit. Then, I would comeback and help resolve the problem. I dont really have any other strategies to use than these two steps. Its easy to get into different zones, but hard to get out of them. When we are in different zones that could make ourselves feel bad then thats when you try to self-regulate. Its easier said then done. You could be trying to self-regulate for hours and or days.

"You have to be kidding me. That's the worst idea I've ever heard", I raged. My group was behind on our project, and I couldn't stand it. Simply put, I was in the red zone.

This is where self regulation comes in. If you are in a bad mood yourself, that will affect everybody around you in a negative way - and you really don't want that to happen. If I'm ranting about why that idea was the most worthless thing that ever went through my ears, instead of politely listening to it and then giving some suggestions, guess how that'll make the other person feel? Dejected and maybe even angry. No one I know does their best work in the red zone - so it's important to be aware of which zone you're in and whether that zone is best for your learning.

Most of the time, I feel that I am pretty good at avoiding distractions, but like Ester, I get quite angry about group projects, but for a different reason. To me, some ideas sound absolutely ridiculous, considering in all factors. It's really annoying to listen to something you know is not going to be feasible in the end while you could be doing work, but sometimes you have to do just that.

One of the first things I do in this case is just take a drink of water, as that usually calms me down enough to listen to my group's ideas, and then give them some polite suggestions on how to improve their idea. This works for many other situations as well!

Another major distraction for me is talking with my friends. When I am deep in conversation, usually I'm not doing my work or listening to Mr. Fisher. That's a bad thing! When I regain my senses, I will usually move to a more quiet place to do my work, or even just asking my friends to talk later.

Self regulation is so important because without it, you wouldn't be able to do your best work. You might even distract other people from doing THEIR best work. To conclude, being self regulated means to be using your time wisely, and that is never a bad thing to do!

"YOU'RE CHEATING!" "NO, YOU ARE!" The sound of bickering voices pierce through the air. I inch slowly and slowly toward the red zone, and before long, I'm in the center of all of the chaos. Lets wind back a little bit.

20 minutes ago, we were peacefully playing a game of basketball. How this change so much from a fun a exciting game to a escalating argument? Because we did not SELF REGULATE! Lets get this straight, one of my friends did an over and back. When I pointed it out, everyone thought that I was worrying to much and got back to playing.

Then, when I did the same thing, everyone began pointing it out. That was it for me, I began to complain, and soon enough, my emotions raged. I said things that I shouldn't have said, and I did things that I shouldn't have done. The mood between my friends soured like spoiled milk.

What should I have done then? I should of tried to reason the mistake out first. I need to let the other person know why I am mad, at them. Hopefully, they would understand me and we could just talk our problems all out.

Next if that didn't work I'm still really mad, I should just stop playing and leave for a moment. I need to calm down by taking a few deep breaths and ignore whatever goes on in my mind. I need to be by myself, and walk around releasing my anger.

Lastly, if all that doesn't work, I need to release my anger using my body. Mostly, I just run around sprinting. Once or twice, I would yell as loud as I could. I don't really say anything, I should scream as loud as I could. Then, I would find a trustworthy friend as just sit down and talk to him about everything that happens.

Remember, if you leave wine out for to long, it turns into vinegar.

Self regulation is very important because it calms you down. It makes you easier to get along with people and it makes you friendlier. People with self regulation can easily adjust to their every day lives. They are easier to work with, and the are more forgiving if you make a mistake.

Sometimes, self regulating doesn't always have to be behaviour wise. It just means controlling yourself. At home, sometimes I watch way to much television, and I can't control myself. Or I gorge myself on junk food, leaving no room for actual food. Sometimes in school, I read in my desk, and I can't control it, especially if I am in the good part of a book. I end up missing an entire lesson.

Some examples are that I take deep breaths and count to 10 to self regulate. Or, I do things that don't require much thought, like scribbling random pictures or reading a book.

Self regulation is such an important skill to have in life, and everyone needs to learn to have it. Its hard to do, but if you practice, it would benefit you a lot in life. It certainly did for me.

Division 1 is terrible at self regulation, if this continues, Mr. Fisher will probably quit his job soon.

One day we were in class when EVERYONE STARTED TALKING VERY LOUDLY. We were lucky Mr. Fisher did not put everyone on two bad because all of our self regulation skills were on two bad.

If we want to self regulate I have some strategies that you can use. First of all we have to take deep breaths, that will calm us down and self regulate ourselves. Second, you should look around the room and see what is in the room, that will calm you down because you will look away from your problems. Last, read something quickly, reading is a way to calm you down because reading is quiet.

Division 1, our class is chaotic! We need to learn to self regulate because if we keep being noisy Mr. Fisher will quit his job.

The class was working individually on their assignments. Then, the teacher says that you can now work with other people as long as everyone is quiet. A lot of students went to sit with their friends quietly. Unfortunately, that didn't last long.

Self-regulation is an important thing to have. Everyone does it. Some are just better at self-regulating themselves than others. We need to be able to self-regulate our own bodies wherever we are. Without being able to self-regulate, we would be spending our time in a chaotic environment.

In this case, your teacher has allowed the class to sit with other people, but only if it's going to be quiet. A few minutes passed, and surprisingly, everyone has been able to stay in an appropriate behavior and volume. Until now. A group of friends started talking a little loudly. While other students were hearing these voices of people talking, they started to do the same. The noise level started to get high. Soon enough, the whole class was talking, and it was so noisy. The teacher had already warned everyone of the noise, but this time it had gone too far. The class had the privilege of being able to sit and talk with friends, but now it has been taken away. Why? Well, that was because students were not self-regulating.

I have been in in these types of situations countless times. Before I didn't have the ability to self-regulate very well. When I was in these types of situations, I happened to be one of those students talking quite loudly to their friends. When I would start talking to my friends I tend to get off task. With a group of students already talking to each other noisily, other students start doing the same. Then, the whole room is filled with the sounds of people just talking to each other. When this happens, I need to find my place and start to self-regulate.

I remind my friends and others around me, what we should be doing and what the expectations are. We start to work quietly again but then my friends start talking. I join in on the conversation, but I start to remember what I should really be focused on. If I am too distracted, it's best for me to move away from the distractions. With nothing to bother or distract me, I can go back to work in an appropriate volume.

Self-regulating has a huge impact on our own behaviors and others. We should know how to calm ourselves down so that we can go on in a calm and self-regulated environment.

"No way! We don't deserve a mark as low as this! We probably practiced more than the other groups and this is the mark?! Seriously?!" I fumed over our project that we worked so hard on. My insides boiled with anger and I stormed out of the room.

Self-regulation is the skill to control our behaviors, emotions, and thoughts. It allows us to overcome failures and stay calm under pressure. People who can self-regulate themselves get along well with others, they also have higher academic achievements and are more social. It helps us to think before we act and express ourselves in an appropriate way.

I sometimes forget to self-regulate at home and it usually ends up in a fight. I take my anger on my sister and pick a fight with her. (This usually ends in someone getting hurt.)

I was very depressed and angry because our group put lots of effort in the project and we still got a low mark. I was in the red zone and I started to rage. I failed to use my self-regulating skills that day.

To control my anger, I use my deep breathing strategy. I breathe in through my nose and exhale out of my mouth. I also redirect my thought to stop me from being in the red zone. I think of something else to stop me from thinking at the thing that bothers me and let it slip from my mind.

Self-regulation is a very important skill to have as a child or an adult. It helps us with our social life, and work. We use it to control our thoughts, behaviors, and actions.

S- self regulating

(Infomercial voice) Do you keep getting moved to the red, yellow or blue zone. Then you should buy are pruduct. it's a plastic bottle that has green zone air! When you breath in the air you will go back to the green zone. Call us now at 231 - this is a - hoax.

If this was true oh god imagine kids in the zones that aren't green just in class opening their plastic bottles. Smelling the air inside of the bottles. moments later getting relaxed.

BUT THAT AIN'T TRUE!!! So we have self-regulation skills. skills that help you get back to the green zone even if your inthe darkest depths of each zone other then green.

Oh god I don't want talk about this but i have to. Mabye it was my fault maybe my parents fault I don't know. So waht happened was I was getting angry at this game I was playing. Then my mom got cocerened and said to ethier stop or go to another ame but I wanted to just relase my pent up ange. But my mom didn't like it so she wanted me to just stop. And so we kept talking and it lead to me getting even more angry and I don't really like that moment in my life

A good self-regulation stratagy is to stay quiet and kind of hear for the teacher's voice.

I look and see, some of my friends were fighting and one was nearly in tears. I run over to see what’s wrong, and then end up in the whole catastrophe.

Self-regulation is very important in and out of school. It helps us academically and socially. Such as let’s say you get a bad mark on a test or presentation. You might be mad, or in the red zone. But you need to self regulate and look on the bright side and then try harder. If you don’t self regulate and be angry and just not try you’ll do worse. Self regulation helps you socially by, well here’s an example. Let’s say you and Bob are playing together. You bring your cool figurine you spent hours working on. Bob takes it and accidentally breaks it. You’re very mad, and if you don’t self regulate and yell at Bob he’ll be hurt, and you guys might not talk. People could be scare of you. If you self regulate and calm down and say it’s fine then good. You could still be mad, but just looking on the bright side and calming down then it’s fine.

One time when I was practicing the ukulele I just couldn’t get this one part right. I was unable to self regulate and got mad at the littlest of things. Like how unorganized my bag was, how messy my bed was, how loud it was downstairs. I was fumed. As well as this one time at school. I was in a bad mood, and then one of my classmates started criticizing me at something. I was so fed up, I just yelled at them. Eventually I calmed down and we both apologized.

Some things you could use to calm down is take a deep breath. Open a window, and breath in that fresh air. Another way to calm down and self regulate is to colour or draw. Draw what’s making you feel upset, and that might help. The final tip is to just listen to music. For me and many other people listening to music could calm your brain.

In conclusion self regulation is a very important thing, whether you’re at school, at home, or outside. Wherever you are. Without self regulation, your grades could be bad, as well as your social life. You could be angry easily, and have no friends. If you ever find that you’re not self regulating just take a breather or listen to music.

Nice job Sophie! I like how you used descriptive words. You do have one grammar mistake. You said “People could be scare of you.”

I'm in class and I'm talking, all my classmates are shouting and talking and the room sounds like chaos. People aren't following the criteria and the class is like a war zone.

This is something that can happen if you haven't learned the amazing self regulation skill. You might be wondering what is self regulation? self regulation is when you control your emotions. You can self regulate when your mad, sad or when your overly excited. Self regulation is a very important life skill because you'll use when you're young and when you're an adult. It is also important because it help you in tough situations and it can prevent fights and getting into trouble.

Some self regulation strategies in class is that you can move your work space when you can't self regulate around with your friends. If you're in a fight with your friend you can self regulate by taking deep breaths and calming down so the fight doesn't escalate.

In my conclusion I know that I'll use self regulation throughout my entire life. I help people self regulate and i will also focus to self regulate as well.

The teacher glances across the classroom, reassuring himself so he continues to grade the test, but the room starts roaring with child chatter violently like a nuclear explosion.

Self Regulation is an important skill to obtain and helps you a lot. If the teacher is asking a question about who created the lightbulb, you should first self regulate all the nonsensical, sarcastic thoughts as when your blurt it out, the teacher might say something like, "please self regulate your action" as this could be very humiliating when the teacher points this out. When you self regulate your own thoughts or actions your peers could identify you as a "normal person." Some ways you could self regulate is to barricade yourself from letting the thought into action. You might want to consider seeing the C Chart so you can compare your thought to what's expected from your teacher. If you feel that it's not relevant then don't say it.

Self-regulation

" Stop sign is on" said Mr. Fisher as the class was just about to erupt from loudness. " all I want is 5 minutes to calm down then the stop sign will be turned off again." the class nods at Mr. Fisher and continues to work. "Hey Ivan how do you do this question?" Said by one of my fellow classmates. "IVAN ONE BAD the stop sign is on" but but but " no more buts nothing is an exception."

Although it may be tough to self-regulate at times it is very important to self-regulate. You may be wondering what self-regulation is first of all. Well self-regulation is when you control your emotions and actions at all places and at all times. It may be hard at times when you are very mad but it's important to self-regulate because it keeps things calm in the classroom. controlling your emotions is also a very important part of self-regulating because you don't want to yell/scream. This is a very important part of growing up because this makes you mature and to act responsibly.

Some ways you can self-regulate are to talk to a friend about everything that you are worrying about. Telling someone will get that off of your chest and it will have a different perspective of what that person thinks. Another way to self-regulate is to make sure you are not in any arguments. If you think an argument is about to happen just try to avoid it and to focus on whatever else you are doing. My last tip for self-regulation is to just take a moment to close your eyes and think in your head what is the smartest idea to do next. Try to do this alone so you don’t get distracted by other people around you.

a place where I don’t self-regulate often is when I'm playing pvp shooter games and it’s a 1v1. I normally get really anxious and scared. Once I lose I fail to self-regulate and become in the red zone thinking of what I could have done better in that round. Not being able to self-regulate is like a hurricane and you're in the middle of it, you are having as very hard time and it is effecting other people. Not being able to self-regulate at appropriate times could lead to fights/arguments you may have with your fellow peers.

In conclusion self-regulation is one of the most important skills to learn as you grow up because it can lead to a lot of fights. Self-regulation helps you do the best as you can and it lets others do too, you wouldn’t want to distracted another person from doing their best work. It may be hard at times but just remember if you self-regulate everything will be fine.

Great job! I suggest capitalizing the first letter of a new sentence. In your last paragraph, you have a little grammar mistake with one of your words. Overall, nice job!

A long time ago, nearly five years ago, I lived in small country named Israel. It is a happy little country, where in the saddest of times people around you cheer you up, in the gloomiest corner there comes unstoppable support. I lived in a cramped apartment with my family. It was small, but livable, it was actually quite modern. We had a white leather couch that fits a respectable 10 people. A normal sized tv sits upon a wooden desk. The soft white carpet covered the dark wooden floors linking to a small hallway where the second cream white door entrance on the right is my room. My room was big for my age. I had a small comfy bed with white beddings and yellow thin blanket covered with flowers. My healthy plants that my mom used to water smile at me, and my snails snack on their leaves as usual. The fishes leap around their fish tank hopefully knowing that I'm going to train them. I prepper for school by taking my fluorescent backpack and eating sweet pancakes. I dumped sugar in my bowl spilling some beside me. My mountain of sugar disappears as I finish my sweet pancakes. I head out the door as my mom leads me out. And into the car. I drive to school thinking what will happen next.

I arrived to school seeing my friends wait for me at the front door behind the big silver gates. I greet my friends as I enter the crowded playground. My friends and I play for a while, and we learn for a while and then we go back home. Well, my friends do. I head to the library to stay there for some time waiting for my parents doing homework. The books take up the room at least five of us reading one, the weak lamp sets a calm atmosphere and the dark wooden desk I'm sitting in is crowded with children while I sit alone. I lower my head against the table taking a deep breath to look up and face the teacher telling me my parents are here. I happily leap out the door swinging my hands like an ungraceful butterfly. My parents greet me and we head home. The car ride home was always fun. The feeling of the warm calmness relaxes me and my parents always make me feel safe. Nothing can possibly make me sad or angry at home. We arrive to my tall building and head inside entering from the back door.

My house is the same but one thing, my cat is gone. Her beautiful white and black soft thin fur and the black majestic heart on her fur gives her the look of grace. Her tiny face gives her cuteness despite the goofball she is. My parents head down to the ground floor to investigate. Suddenly the horror, they come back upstairs with a frown like no other. Thier frown looks like it's been engraved to their face. I take the hint and rush to my room. My face buried in my pillow. I cry hard, my hot tears dissolve in my pillow. My mom comes in and tells me my cat is very unwell and has been sent to the vet. My tears stop, the thought of her still living puts a smile on my face. My mood changes like Canadas rain to snow. I can go to bed, calmly. When I wake the feeling of hope gets me out of bed. I skip to my kitchen to find my parents discuses something with my nanny. I listen and find out, my cat, my best friend, my happiness, my loved one, my family is gone. Alisa my cat removed from this world. I was wrong, this isn't sad its devastating and this isn't anger its rage. I know I will miss her till the end of my life and that feeling will always be engraved to me

I come into class and everyone is shouting at each other. I realize that no one is following the criteria. This is an example of not self regulating. Self regulating is an important skill to have. For example, I came into class and everyone was talking to each other quietly and were all ready to learn, so I go sit down at my desk and wait for the lesson to start. That is and example of self regulating. We need to be able to self regulate and its a skill that most people know and learn to know if they don't. Some self regulating skills are if your mad move away from whatever is irritating you, you could also take deep breaths. Over all self regulating is a very important skill that we all use everyday.

Ever feel tired, sad, or you just don’t want to do anything in class? Well I’m just here to tell you, that is not good for learning. Self-regulation is a very important part of learning. It will be really difficult if you can’t do that.

“The bell just went off” I said “time to go inside, I went in the undercover area, through the door, up the stairs, through the hallway, and bam I’m in my classroom. Every one was talking really loud. Then the second bell also went off, but we were still talking, and Mr. Fisher says “go line up in the hallway quietly please”, all of us went outside and was lining up beside the wall. “You guys need to self regulate when you come into the classroom!” Said Mr. Fisher

Self-regulating is a very difficult thing to do for a lot of people, but some people has no problems and never gets trouble by being too loud. If it’s an independent work time and the stop sign is on, you talk to your friends, your out and no exceptions. Even if the stop sign is off, you could also distract them, like if your finished your work and the other people aren’t finished, then don’t just distract them, because that will take their focus off of what their suppose to do and instead get distracted. So that’s why you should self-regulate

Bam! A chair fell down. The room filled with laughter and screams. Homework was ripped, glass had broken and sanity had gone. There wasn't a point of taking time to think if the class had or haven't gone wild. Through the clatter and screams there was Mr. Fisher. "what do you guys think you're doing?" we turned around to find Mr. Fisher there. "just having fun" a voice answered.

Mr. fisher looked shocked, "self-regulation is such an important skill in life" he said. A voice called out "but why?" "self-regulation can help you with many things in life. If someone is driving and isn't self-regulating you'd get in a lot of trouble if your close. It can be from not taking a candy cane from a tree to not screaming in a job interview." He, said.

"Taya there are times when you have not self-regulated, like when you screamed as loud as you can at reassess and that time where you and Serin fought with bouncy balls." And after Mr. fisher said that the class stopped.

They took deep breaths when got frustrated and took a minute to calm down when needed and with that the class was good.

Importance of Self-Regulation
I sit back against the wall and listen to my friends’ quarrelling over trivias. This is a scene taking place in my life, now and then. As the time ticks away, I slowly become in the red zone.

This is also the time when self-regulation slips in me. Regulating my own reactions shows my manners and true beliefs. No matter how I get impatient or annoyed, awaring of this, I would use appropriate volume or tone when swallowing all other discomfort caused to me. It usually works nicely to me. Adjusting every aspect of my responses to a right level is not that uncomfortable for me. Literally, it often makes me feel even better. Not only does it matter to having good rapport with others, but also to providing a peaceful, quiet workspace to avoid distractions.

I am not often in the red zone unless either my own regulation or someone else’s does not take action. I dislike the feeling of staying in the red zone. It seems disruptive to ruin everything, including good moods and learning efficiency. I cannot concentrate or enjoy.

When problems come up, I had better self regulate myself into the green zone. By practicing it frequently as much as possible, self-regulation will become one of my habits. It will bring benefits to me, like releasing my dismay. Going for a walk, getting a drink of water, or taking a deep breath is my way to adjust myself comfort level. Surely, talking to someone who listens to me is also reliable.

A successful self-regulation requires some skills, which are crucial for a better life. For some people, regulating themselves can be fairly tough, but it will for sure benefit them in the long run. With patience and methods to keep learning and practicing, it is achievable.
