“I used this with a group of 6 boys. They loved the idea of making their own coping skills fidget spinner. This is such an amazing product. I love that there were coping skills provided as well as blank ones for the students to come up with. The only thing I would change would be adding blank feeling triangles in there too (Side note: You can also just flip a feeling over and make your own feeling. lol) AMAZING PRODUCT!!!!!”

Why Teach Self-Regulation Skills
Teaching children self-regulation tools helps the thinking part of their brain, the pre-frontal cortex, to remain engaged and in charge. Many of our students need extra support in this area, often coming to school already in a state of fear, worry & chronic stress. Until we help students manage and relate–with kindness & compassion–to these challenging emotional experiences, they will have a hard time learning the academic tools that students need to be successful in and out of school. Using this coping skills spinner tool in your calm down corner is a great way to help students self-regulate.
