Lesson Plan

Pause Power Lesson Plan

Students will learn and practice three quick self‐regulation tools—deep breathing, wall push, and counting—and use a simple “Pause Power” cue before reacting to big feelings.

These strategies give a kindergarten child with sensory processing disorder and ADHD concrete, easy-to-use techniques to manage overwhelming emotions in the moment, improving focus and emotional awareness.
