Zones of Regulation Keychain Keyring 4 Emotional Regulation Tools

Support emotional wellbeing on the go with this handy Zones of Regulation Keychain Keyring. Designed for both children and adults, this compact tool features four easy-to-use emotional regulation strategies that can be carried anywhere – on a school bag, pencil case, or keyring.

Each side of the keyring offers a clear, visual reminder of the Zones of Regulation framework, helping learners identify their current emotional state (Blue, Green, Yellow, or Red) and choose strategies to self-regulate. The durable design means it’s perfect for daily use in the classroom or at home.

How it Supports SEND in Schools

• Visual Aid: Many learners with SEND benefit from clear, accessible visuals. The colour-coded zones provide an immediate way to recognise and communicate emotions without needing complex language.

• Consistency: By linking school and home use, the keychain helps maintain consistent strategies, supporting routines that reduce anxiety and increase confidence.

• Independence: Pupils can carry their own emotional regulation support, promoting autonomy and self-awareness.

• Inclusion: Teachers and support staff can quickly reference the keyring when prompting students, ensuring emotional regulation is embedded across the school day.
