Why Teach Self-Regulation Skills?

Many students arrive at school carrying stress, fear, or worry that makes it hard for them to focus on academics. By teaching coping tools, we strengthen the prefrontal cortex—the part of the brain responsible for focus, problem-solving, and decision-making. When students learn to calm their bodies and regulate their emotions, they are better prepared to learn, connect with peers, and thrive both inside and outside of school.
