Zones of Regulation Mini Guide

Big understanding does not always need a big guide...

Mini.. yet mighty!

The Zones of Regulation Mini Guide is a simple, accessible introduction to using colour-based Zones as a way to explore emotions, energy and states of regulation. Designed for families, it helps grown-ups and children build a shared language for noticing how they are feeling and what their body might need... without treating one Zone as “good” and another as “bad”.

With practical guidance and easy-to-use visuals, this mini guide helps families move beyond “What colour are you?” towards the more useful question: “What might help you right now?”

Neurodivergent-informed, low-demand and centred around individual difference, it encourages curiosity rather than correction and supports children to discover their own regulation tools rather than being taught that regulation simply means becoming calm.

Small guide. Powerful shift in understanding. A resource you can return to again and again as your child grows.
