Emotional Regulation & Co-Regulation
Personal, Social & Emotional Development (PSED)
Your child is learning to identify their own feelings (happy, sad, angry, scared), can use words to describe their emotional state, and can accept comfort from a trusted adult when overwhelmed.
In real life
When a toy will not fit together, your child scrunches up and says, "I'm mad!" Then they hold it out to you for help instead of throwing it.
Ages are the anchor. Grade names are Ivy Waters stage labels for this framework, not a claim about any national school system.
