Description: The “Feelings and Calming Choices” Lesson Plan offers educators a structured approach to supporting emotional development in children from birth to five. Through interactive activities such as identifying emotions with picture cards, mirror play, role-playing with puppets, and practicing calming strategies, children learn to recognize and manage their feelings. The plan includes differentiation strategies for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, along with extension activities and assessment tips, making it a versatile tool for building self-regulation skills in early learning environments.
