Regulation Road – Session 6 – EYFS & KS1 Emotional Regulation Programme
Session 6 - My Regulation Journey
Key focus: personal reflection and growing independence
Pit Stop 6 brings together all of the learning from the Regulation Road programme, giving children the opportunity to reflect on their growing emotional awareness and celebrate the progress they have made. Through meaningful discussions and the engaging My Regulation Road Map activity, children revisit the emotions, body clues, triggers, strategies and support networks they have explored throughout the intervention.
Rather than reaching a finish line, children are encouraged to recognise that emotional regulation is a lifelong journey. They leave the programme with a greater understanding of themselves, increased confidence in talking about their feelings and a personalised toolkit of strategies that can continue supporting them beyond the intervention.
This final session provides a positive conclusion to the programme while helping adults celebrate children's achievements and recognise the progress they have made.
- reflect on their emotional regulation journey
- identify strategies that work well for them
- recognise their own emotional needs
- celebrate the progress they have made
This final session includes detailed adult guidance, printable resources and engaging activities where the focus is not on reaching a finish line. Instead, the children learn to celebrate the progress they have made and recognise that understanding emotions is a lifelong journey.
This resource is part of the Regulation Road Emotional Regulation Intervention - a structured six-session programme for EYFS and KS1.
Each Pit Stop builds on the previous one, gradually developing children's emotional vocabulary, self-awareness, understanding of body clues, emotional triggers, regulation strategies and empathy.
