Today I speak with Leah Kuypers, the creator of the Zones of Regulation curriculum which has been enthusiastically received by educators, therapists and parents around the world, Leah’s book, also entitled The Zones of Regulation, has sold more than 100,000 copies worldwide.. If you are new to the Zones or need a refresher, then be sure to join us for our SENIA virtual conference in December, as Leah will be teaching us about the Basics of The Zones of Regulation. In today’s podcast we learn about her inspiration behind creating the curriculum and how teachers and parents can implement it into their classrooms and homes. We discuss what it means to feel regulated and also about the impact of Covid on our children’s ability to regulate on a daily basis upon going back to school. I know you’ll enjoy this podcast, so happy listening.
