SELF-REGULATION

Self-Regulation and the Brain

Self-regulation is all about self-control. Toddlers, kids, teenagers, and adults all learn strategies throughout their lives that help them regulate their feelings, emotions, and actions. Sometimes, we are put into a situation where it is very challenging to control our excitement, sadness, or anger. This is ok. This is a part of life. However, we all have to learn to deal with our emotions productively to minimize any negative effects it might have on others.

1.) MATH:

Complete any unfinished work.
Bring any flyer to school that has prices of items and sale prices. For example, SALE! 25% off all LED lights from Home Depot. If you don't have any newspaper type flyers, simply print something off from an online website like bestbuy.ca. You need this for tomorrow's math lesson.

2.) LA:

All of you should have already done this, but if you haven't, make sure you have updated FreshGrade with the following:

My P.A.R.
Emotions operate on many levels.They control your thinking, behaviour and actions. They affect your physical bodies as much as your feelings and thinking. Negative emotions such as fear, anxiety, etc cause chemical reactions in your body that are different than positive emotions such as happy, excited, etc. Like explained in the video, people take actions before knowing the actual situation. One example would be that if you go up to someone that is mad, they could be ready to fight but once they realize you are only offering a cupcake they would cheer up. That person that was mad and took action before knowing the situation. I think the big idea is to control your feelings and to know how to show yourself in front of other people when your not in a great mood. This video has taught me something about emotions and how to control them. I hope it has taught you something too.

My P.A.R. (Revised Version)

Group of bullies:"HAHAHAHA!! Look at his shirt. Its pink!"
Group of nice people: "Hey. That's not nice. Apologize to him.
Group of bullies: "No! What are you going to do?"
Group of nice people: "Oh so that's how you want to play?!"
Kid being bullied: "Thanks for the help guys but it's not going to work." (Kid walks away crying.)

Emotions operate on many levels. They control your thinking, behaviour and actions. For example, the kid that was being bullied walked away crying because he was teased of the shirt he was wearing. Emotions affect your physical bodies as much as your feelings and thinking just like the kid. Negative emotions such as fear, anxiety, etc cause chemical reactions in your body that are different from positive emotions such as happy, excited, etc. Like explained in the video, people take actions before knowing the actual situation. One example would be that if you go up to someone that is mad, they could be ready to fight but once they realize you are being nice and only offering a cupcake they would cheer up. That person was mad and took action before knowing the situation. I think the big idea is to control your feelings and to know how to show yourself in front of other people when you're not in a great mood.

@Eknoor

Just a few grammatical errors:

1. 'they could be ready to fight but once' Should have either a comma or a period after the word fight.
2. 'That person that was mad' should be 'The person that was mad."
3. 'other people when your not in a great mood' Should be 'when you're'

I'm done! I may have lost some.

The word 'emotion' represent many things. Such as anger, happiness, sadness, and feelings in general. But how do they come out and specify themselves as those feelings? Well, there are negative and positive sides to each story, and we usually take those things in before we know exactly what was going on. For example, if you came up with a balloon, maybe they thought you would pop it and scare them. That would give them the negative effect. But they soon realize that you were actually holding a balloon, signaling that they should hold a party for a close friend. The big idea should be how we should understand the situation before we take action, and do something we regret.

This video was actually quite confusing for me, so I am sorry for the poor paragraph today.

Stephanie

1/21/2018 03:56:41 pm

I rewatched the video again, and I came up with a new big idea.

The big idea should be to think about more positive thoughts. positive thoughts is what would keep you and the world going. If you thought you would be booed at when you are up on stage like in the video, that would make you nervous. The outcome of being nervous on stage is not so good. It sends negative reactions to your body. But if you thought about people clapping and giving support, that would boost your self esteem and you would gain more confidence to improve yourself.

Emotions affects us all by either by something happy or sad. For example when you get a compliment from someone your body releases some good hormones from the brain and throughout your body to tell you it's something good but when it detects something bad, it goes through our body and makes us want to fight or do something bad. But if we know how to control our emotions using conscious thinking then we can take control of it in our brain and make the world a happier place.

@Jessica H.

Nice paragraph! However here are some suggestions for improvement:

~Add a hook to catch the reader's attention.
~In the first line, "Emotions affects us all" should be "Emotions affect us all".
~In the first line, "by either by" should be "by either".
~In the first line, after "For example", you should have a comma.
~In the second line, between "someone" and "your" you should add a comma.
~From line 2 to line 4, you have a long run-on sentence. You should consider splitting it up into multiple smaller sentences to make your thoughts clear.
~In line 4, you don't start a sentence with "But".
~In line 4, you should add a comma between "thinking" and "then".

Zzzzz! Zzzzz! Zzzzz! WAKE UP! W-what. You just slept through my whole lesson! Detention now! Wait, I can explain! Fine, what is your excuse! Well, my emotions took over me. Before I came into class today I was so mad because my mom told me to clean up my room. I did not want to do it so I let my anger take over. I couldn't think or doing anything! At that moment of time I just need some time to chill out. I thought of happy thoughts why in class and eventually I fell asleep. Hmm, good excuse I let you go. Really! AHHAHAHHAHA No! Principle's office now! Ughhhhhh!
Overall, I think the big idea was to be positive. If you are positive you have more control and can think at the moment, but when you are angry or mad you won't be able to control yourself as well.
Soooooooo, IF YOU HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT CLAP YOUR HANDS!

Emotions are how you feel at that moment. Either being sad, happy embarrassed, depressed or any other feeling. But how do they happen? They happen when someone else says something either a compliment or an offensive message which makes you feel sad or happy. Well the big idea to this video to me, is "think before you talk", which is what my dad always says. If you think before you talk you won't get into arguments so before you say something you should think about how it's gonna affect the person's feeling.

"Shut up"
"YOU shut up!"
"What's your problem?"
"I aint have no problem!You have some yes problems?"
"You and YOU are the one who screwed up the socials project,not ME and YOU are the reason we got Pre-Beginning-Minus on freshgrade."
"LIAR!"
"You both have problems,detention for ∞ years and that's FINAL!!!!"
"BUT BUT!"

Everyone has emotions,
Emotions are affected by hormones in your body. How can you control your emotions?That is the big idea. If you feel nervous before something,you feel nervous during it. That is why it is important to keep your emotions calm

Kenton

Do you sometimes think why are emotions a thing? They sometimes get annoying right? Yah I can relate. Well how can you control that? Well, there are many strategy but today it is a diffrent topic and I have to follow the criteria.

I thought the main idea of the video was how emotions can control us and overwhelm us. And that is why we have to learn to control them. The video also talked about why and how emotions work. I thought the chemical part was pretty cool.

Overall, the video was a very intresting and educational video about how we must learn how to control them.

Sry for the late post. Mr. Hong how are you feeling after the surgery?

Today , I watched a video about emotion. I found out that the big idea of this video is try to control your feeling . You might ask, what do you mean by " control your feeling " , let me show you some examples ,and you will know what I am talking about.
In the video , it said when our brain detected potential threat , which prepare a fight but when you experience something rewarding , maybe someone doing something nice you might change your feeling from the red zone to the green zone . Which mean that you have to think after you do , cause you might don't know that person is doing something good or bad to you . For example , if you got bad marks in the math test , and you feel really sad, afterwards your classmate walk close to you , and you thought she will going to laugh at you because your marks is low , so you said loud to her 'stop! I know you want to laugh at me but I try my best! ' After that , your classmate said she just wanted to make you happy and that's why you have to control your feeling .
I know that sometimes controlling your feeling is hard cause if you are in the red zone , you want to be in the green zone ,that is a really hard thing to do , and that also take time , but if you try to control yourself, I think the problem will not be that hard.

Emotional Brain: ‘oR wE cAn CrY aBoUt It InStEaD’
Person: *puts head on desk* ‘Great, now I have to take time to regulate before I can work. Thanks Emotional Brain…’
Emotional Brain: ‘Sorry, but I don’t like that video, and my ideas are TeRrIbLe’

Logical Brain: ‘What are your ideas?’
Emotional Brain: ‘Well, I was thinking I could talk about Vulcans and Kelpiens.’
Person: ‘Oh yeah! I love Star Trek!’
Logical Brain: ‘No you don’t, remember last night’s episode?’
Emotional Brain: ‘TiMe To CrY!’
Person: ‘I’d rather not… I have an idea, you guys just keep talking okay?’
Both Brains: ‘Okay’
Person: ‘What do you think the big idea of the video is?’
Emotional Brain: ‘I DoN’t KnOw, AnD I dOn’T cArE’
Logical Brain: ‘Real mature of you… I think the big idea is that we all have emotions but we need to regulate to keep YOU under control, Emotional brain’

Person: ‘That’s good you guys, I think I made a decent paragraph’
Logical Brain: ‘Good! Can we see?’
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Par: I think that the big idea of the video is that we all have emotions, and we all have to know how to regulate when we want to get things done. Another reason we need to be able to regulate is so that our emotions don’t take over our ability to think, and make good decisions. Something I learned from this video is that one way to calm ourselves is to use ‘conscious thinking.’

Logical Brain: ‘It’s good… I guess’
Emotional Brain: ‘HoW dArE yOu SaY ‘I’’

Person: ‘Yeah, I wanted to try something different’
Right Brain: ‘WhAt If PeOpLe DoN’t LiKe It?!?!?!’
Person: ‘Regulate! Use your conscious thinking! What if people DO like it?
Logical Brain: ‘We will just have to see what happens’

Emotions, emotions, emotions. They take over you without knowing or expecting it. I think the big idea or the meaning of the video is that emotions hit or show when you least expect so you should know how to regulate yourselves and not be out of control. You have many different emotions so it'll be hard to calm/control yourselves for all of them but it will come through and you'll get used to it.
Emotions take over our brain and abilities so this is where regulating yourselves comes in handy. Calming yourselves down and controlling yourself will not let the emotions take over you so you can think straight and not go crazy with that one emotion or maybe even mixed emotions.
Overall, after watching this video it makes me want to control my feelings more so I don't go too overboard with them.

" needs some commas. I like your intro by the way.

Everyone will feel anger, happiness or sadness. You can't control your emotions. Emotions are chemical messages sent by your brain. They might be uncontrollable at first, but if you learn how to control your emotions you will become a better person. I think the main idea of the video is to know what emotions are and how to control them.You have to learn how to control your emotions in order for you to be calm in every situation. Try to control your emotions. Just do it!

Say your friend says something like "Sorry, but I can't hangout tomorrow.". You may snap something back like, "I HATE YOU!" without really letting it process through your mind. This is perfectly normal, you can't really control your emotions right? Wrong. When something good or bad happens to you, your body releases chemical messages. Sometimes these chemical messages will flow right to your body before you get a chance to think about what your doing, like in the example. You can actually control this if you slow down and think more before our actions. I think the video is really just telling you that you should be more mindful, and think more before you do something. It could save you a friendship or two.

Emotions are really hard to control. Whether its happiness, anger or sadness, it could be really hard to control. That is why we should learn how to control them and not let our emotions take over our bodies. That way, we wouldn't get in trouble if we are furious about something. Stay clam everybody.

Emotions can take control of you in many ways. When you’re feeling angry, sad, excited… Sometimes you won’t even notice,but you need to self-regulate.When I met someone who is really unreasonable or extremely rude, I get angry and can’t really control myself. Or when I just got first place in my speech contest, I’ll be in a happy mood. If you find the way that will calm yourself down, then you can control your emotions instead of the opposite way.

Each and every one of us have emotions. Our bodies react differently to each emotions. I think the big idea is to control your emotions. Controlling your emotion can be hard at first. Then eventually, it will get easier. Knowing how to control your emotion is important. Even though you might think it’s useless or something it will be useful because you never know you might be out of control without even noticing. If you know how to control your emotion you might be in more control and be calm. So knowing how to control your emotions are important.

How often do you see a driver shout something rude at another driver when they are changing lanes? Or, have you ever seen a driver honk at another driver who has taken their parking spot? These things are probably very common in our daily lives. This is all about emotional control. We all have emotions - anger, happiness, love, hate, fear, anxiety, and many more. Now, what is emotional control? Emotional control is when you think before you act on your emotions. A great way to do this is by thinking about others’ emotions and thinking positively. For example most car accidents happen because the person lost control of their emotions and couldn’t concentrate on driving. If the driver thought about the situation in a more positive way, the driver’s brain wouldn’t have produced the chemicals - adrenaline and cortisol, and then they wouldn’t have gotten into a car accident. They could think that the other driver may have needed to go to an important meeting. Perhaps their mother called them for an emergency. Therefore they wanted to quickly pass by. If the driver thought about it that way, their brain would have released dopamine, oxytocin, or serotonin - the chemicals that make them feel good. After that the driver would have let the other driver pass them and they would have avoided a possible collision. Overall I learned that we should always think about others’ feelings and think positively, so we can avoid mistakes, conflicts, and tragedies.

Emotions. They’re hard to control so- sorry my phone is ringing. Hello? (You have to restart.) You’re kidding right!? (Just do something to get the reader to read more.) Ugh! Okay, whatever! (Remem-) Bye. *Call has ended*
You know, trying to control emotions suck. I mean whenever people get angered or something, it’s seems like they just want to punch something or someone to feel better. Same thing goes for being really excited too! You’re favourite show launched a new season. You get really excited that you start squealing. Then someone comes barging in asking if you’re okay, but then you look at whoever is there and they say “Nevermind, you’re just really REALLY happy.” in a bored and depressed tone. The thing is, we need to try and learn to control our emotions. We can’t let them control our bodies or we’ll become a complete mess. Believe me when I say it’s going to be bad, because it’s actually going to be horrible.
My phone is ringing again, sorry about that. Hi! (That was great! Keep up the good work!) Oh, thanks. Anything I need to improve on? (At the moment, I’m not sure. Maybe later on, someone will reply to this and give you feedback.) Hopefully anyways. Bye, I’ll see you later. (Bye.) *Call has ended*

We all have emotions from terrible to great. But did you know that emotions can overtake us?

Everyone has emotions. But sometimes, emotions get get too "powerful" and can overtake us. It's like saying that emotions can hijake our brain. Howerver, sometimes thinking of something good can take our bad emotions away. It's the same thing around with thinking bad however. For example, if you're taking a speech and just imagine that the audience might talk or be rude, your anxiety level may increase.

Overall, emotions are a powerful aspect in are brain, but we shoulld always know how to control them.
