Welcome the student warmly. Explain that today’s lab will focus on recognizing and managing emotions in real time. Briefly introduce yourself and the purpose of the session.

Read each objective aloud. Encourage the student to ask questions if anything is unclear.

Introduce the [Emotion Thermometer Worksheet](#emotion-thermometer-worksheet). Ask the student to rate how they feel right now and note any physical cues or triggers.

Show the [Emotional Regulation Strategy Cards](#emotion-reg-strategy-cards). Briefly describe each strategy (e.g., deep breathing, guided imagery, short breaks). Ask the student to pick two that feel most doable.

Propose a simple scenario, like feeling frustrated with homework. Guide the student through using their chosen strategies step by step. Provide positive feedback and suggestions.

Hand over the [Emotion Reflection Prompts](#emotion-reflection-prompts). Compare the new thermometer rating with the initial one. Help the student articulate what felt most helpful and set a goal for next time.
