The lesson teaches students different breathing techniques to help calm their bodies and minds when feeling in heightened emotional states. It also has students create their own self-regulation toolboxes to identify strategies that can help them.

The breathing techniques taught are Lazy 8 breathing and The 6 sides of breathing.

The students are asked to fill out a 'Tools for my Zones' activity sheet to identify strategies they think would work for them to include in their own self-regulation toolboxes.
