My Regulation Ocean - Visual Regulation Board
Celebrating effort, building confidence and recognising the little wins.
Children work hard every day.
Sometimes the biggest achievements aren’t the ones everyone notices—they’re trying something that felt scary, asking for help, using a regulation strategy, showing kindness or persevering through something that felt difficult.
My Regulation Ocean has been created as a positive visual way to celebrate those moments.
Unlike traditional reward charts, this resource isn’t about earning prizes, controlling behaviour or taking tokens away. Instead, it encourages children to recognise their own progress while helping adults notice and celebrate the small everyday successes that build confidence over time.
Every sea creature added to the chart represents another step forward—no matter how big or small.
What’s Included
This visual support system includes:
One large A3 My Regulation Ocean chart
20 reusable sea creature tokens
Child-friendly underwater design
Durable, easy-to-use format suitable for everyday use
The ocean theme provides a calm, engaging visual that children can enjoy while tracking their progress.
How It Works
Together, you and your child decide which positive moments you’d like to celebrate.
This might include:
Giving something a go.
Trying a new food.
Using a regulation strategy.
Asking for help.
Being kind to someone.
Working through something that felt difficult.
Completing part of a routine.
Showing perseverance.
Practising independence.
Using calming tools.
Each time your child reaches one of these personal goals, they simply add another sea creature to their ocean.
There are no penalties.
There are no tokens taken away.
The focus stays on recognising progress, building confidence and creating positive conversations together.

Our Neuroaffirming Approach
At Neuro Nest Co., we believe encouragement is more powerful than punishment.
My Regulation Ocean has been designed to celebrate progress without using shame, fear or consequences.
Children aren’t expected to be perfect.
They’re encouraged to notice their own growth, build confidence through positive experiences and understand that learning takes time.
Because every small step deserves to be celebrated.
