Self-Reg looks at stress and self-regulation (how we respond to stress) across five domains of experience:
- Biological: physiological factors:health, nutrition, sensory issues illness, tiredness
- Emotion: stressors around strong and uncomfortable emotions
- Cognitive: stress related to thinking, concentration, attention, perseverance
- Social: social interaction, relationships, friends,
- Prosocial: stress around moral judgments and behaviour, empathy, other people’s stress
Why is it important to look at all five domains?
- Helps us see beyond the most obvious stressors
- Stress in one domain can cause or worsen stress in another domain
- Helps us look at children’s (and our own stress) more holistically
- Opens our eyes to more possibilities for reducing stress
