Games that support planning and problem solving, memory, attention, motor control, and
sequencing can help kids develop the ability to self-regulate despite challenging situations and
circumstances. Calming techniques, self-awareness exercises, and mindfulness activities can
also be effective in supporting the development of self-regulation. These games and activities
can be great ways to introduce self regulation strategies with kids!
