For Students Impacted by Mood Dysregulation Disorders
The materials in this section are designed to help students who enjoy competitive games during physical education classes, recess, and periods of free time, but are challenged to maintain satisfactory emotional regulation during these experiences. The traditional proactive approach has been to work on the development of social skills as well as mood regulation skills in an instructional setting. The traditional reactive approach has been to employ discipline and punitive measures to penalize the behavior or restrict access to the problematic situation. Both approaches have merit and they should probably both be employed at the same time.
