Blue Zone– When children are in the blue zone their body is running slow, such as when they are tired, sick, sad or bored. This is when their body and/or brain are moving slowly or sluggishly.
Green Zone– When children are in the green zone, their body and brain are ready to learn. They may feel happy, calm, focused and ready to learn. This is the zone that students generally need to be in to complete schoolwork and for getting along with others.
Yellow Zone–When children are entering the yellow zone, they are starting to lose control. The yellow zone describes when they start to lose control such as when they are frustrated, overwhelmed, silly, wiggly, excited, nervous or surprised.
Red Zone– When children are in the red zone, they are out of control, have trouble making good choices, and may be unsafe. Children may experience anger, rage, explosive behavior, panic, or terror when in the Red Zone. Being in the Red Zone can best be explained by not being in control of one’s own body.
