Introduce the concept of self-regulation. Emphasize that self-regulation means managing our emotions and reactions, and that it helps us feel better and think clearly.

Present some common examples of self-regulation like pausing, deep breaths, and counting. Let students know these are tools they can use anytime.

Engage the class with a brief group discussion pausing to reflect on when they've used such strategies.

Summarize key points. Reinforce that self-regulation is like a superpower we can build over time with practice.
