Circles of Concern SEL Board | Emotional Regulation & Anxiety Support Tool for Kids

Help children navigate worries, big feelings, and everyday challenges with the Circles of Concern SEL Board. This hands-on social-emotional learning tool encourages children to sort thoughts and situations into categories based on what they can control, influence, or let go of.
