Annog Hunanreoleiddio a Hunanreolaeth
Mae helpu plant i ddatblygu hunanreoleiddio a hunanreolaeth yn hanfodol i'w twf emosiynol a chymdeithasol. Mae ffocws gwobrwyo cadarnhaol ein polisi ymddygiad yn ogystal â sancsiynau priodol wedi'u cynllunio i ddatblygu hunanreoleiddio plant. Y rheswm am hyn yw nad yw cosb neu gerydd am ymddygiad negyddol yn unig yn aml yn arwain at ddysgu fel bod plant yn deall sut i wneud dewisiadau gwell.
Fel y gwyddoch o fy mwletinau blaenorol, rydym wedi bod yn gweithio'n galed i ddiweddaru ein Polisi Ymddygiad Cadarnhaol y gellir ei ganfod ar ein gwefan trwy ddilyn y ddolen hon: https://www.ysgolpanteg.cymru/5.
Mae sgiliau hunanreoleiddio yn caniatáu iddynt lywio heriau gyda hyder, meithrin perthnasoedd cadarnhaol, a rheoli emosiynau'n effeithiol. I ni, yn Ysgol Panteg, mae'n ymwneud â chefnogi plant i allu delio â'r sefyllfaoedd y maent yn eu hwynebu fel plant ond hefyd yn y tymor hir ac i fod yn oedolion. Credwn y gellir meithrin hunanreoleiddio trwy amgylcheddau cefnogol, canllawiau meddylgar, a strategaethau cyson sy'n grymuso plant i ddeall a rheoli eu hymatebion i wahanol sefyllfaoedd.
Strategaethau ar gyfer Helpu Plant i Reoli Emosiynau
Mae plant yn profi ystod eang o emosiynau bob dydd, o gyffro a llawenydd i rwystredigaeth a siom. Fel rydw i wedi'i ddweud sawl gwaith, mae eu dysgu i gydnabod y teimladau hyn ac ymateb yn briodol yn allweddol i feithrin deallusrwydd emosiynol. Un dull effeithiol yw annog plant i adnabod ac enwi eu hemosiynau. Pan allant fynegi eu bod yn teimlo'n ddig neu'n bryderus yn hytrach na dim ond gweithredu allan, maent yn cymryd y cam cyntaf tuag at reoli'r teimladau hynny'n adeiladol.
Strategaeth arall yw modelu rheoleiddio emosiynol. Mae plant yn dysgu trwy arsylwi, felly pan fydd oedolion yn dangos ymatebion tawel i sefyllfaoedd llawn straen, maent yn darparu glasbrint gwerthfawr ar gyfer ymdrin ag emosiynau cryf. Mae siarad am emosiynau'n agored, fel egluro sut y gallai rhywun gymryd anadliadau dwfn pan fydd yn rhwystredig, yn atgyfnerthu technegau ymarferol y gall plant eu defnyddio eu hunain.
Mae darparu mecanweithiau ymdopi strwythuredig hefyd yn helpu plant i ddatblygu hunanreolaeth. Mae technegau fel ymarferion anadlu'n ddwfn, gweithgareddau ymwybyddiaeth ofalgar, a strategaethau synhwyraidd—fel gwasgu pêl fach neu wrando ar gerddoriaeth dawelu—yn cynnig ffyrdd pendant i blant reoleiddio eu hemosiynau. Mae annog datrys problemau ymhellach yn cefnogi rheoleiddio emosiynol, gan ei fod yn symud y ffocws o ymateb yn fyrbwyll i ddod o hyd i atebion. Boed yn gweithio trwy anghytundeb neu'n rheoli rhwystredigaeth gyda thasg anodd, mae arwain plant i feddwl yn feirniadol ac ystyried eu hopsiynau yn meithrin gwydnwch ac annibyniaeth.
Pwysigrwydd Amynedd a Chydnerthedd
Mae amynedd a chydnerthedd wedi'u cysylltu'n agos â hunanreoleiddio. Pan fydd plant yn dysgu goddef rhwystredigaeth a methiannau, maent yn datblygu hyder yn eu gallu i ymdrin ag anawsterau heb gael eu llethu. Mae annog meddylfryd twf—lle mae camgymeriadau a heriau'n cael eu gweld fel cyfleoedd i ddysgu yn hytrach na methiannau—yn helpu i feithrin dyfalbarhad.
Gall oedolion gefnogi cydnerthedd trwy gydnabod emosiynau plant tra hefyd yn eu helpu i symud ymlaen yn adeiladol. Mae dilysu siom plentyn wrth eu hannog i geisio eto yn atgyfnerthu cryfder emosiynol. Mae dysgu strategaethau i blant i reoli rhwystredigaeth, fel cymryd seibiant neu addasu eu dull o ymdrin â sefyllfa, yn eu helpu i feithrin dyfalbarhad ac addasrwydd. Rhan bwysig o'n polisi yw caniatáu i blant ddelio â rhwystredigaeth a dod yn dawel cyn i ni archwilio achos ac effaith ymddygiad negyddol yn llawn - mae hyn yn golygu bod plant yn barod i drafod a meddwl am y sefyllfa yn hytrach na dim ond ymateb yn amddiffynnol.
Mae amgylchedd cefnogol a strwythuredig yn chwarae rhan hanfodol wrth ddatblygu hunanreoleiddio, amynedd a chydnerthedd. Pan fydd plant yn teimlo'n ddiogel, yn cael eu deall, ac wedi'u cyfarparu â strategaethau i reoli eu hemosiynau, maent yn fwy tebygol o ymdrin â heriau bywyd gyda hyder ac aeddfedrwydd. A dyma'n union ein nod yn Ysgol Panteg.

Encouraging Self-Regulation and Self-Control
Helping children develop self-regulation and self-control is fundamental to their emotional and social growth. Our behaviour policy’s positive reward focus as well as appropriate sanctions are designed to develop children’s self-regulation. The reason for this that punishment or admonishment for negative behaviour alone often does not bring about learning so that children understand how to make better choices.
As you will know from my previous bulletins, we have been working hard to update our Positive Behaviour Policy which can be found on our website by following this link: https://www.ysgolpanteg.cymru/5.
Self-regulation skills allow them to navigate challenges with confidence, build positive relationships, and manage emotions effectively. For us, at Ysgol Panteg, it is about supporting children with being able to deal with the situations they face as children but also long-term and into adulthood. We believe that self-regulation can be nurtured through supportive environments, thoughtful guidance, and consistent strategies that empower children to understand and control their responses to various situations.
Strategies for Helping Children Manage Emotions
Children experience a wide range of emotions every day, from excitement and joy to frustration and disappointment. As I have said many times, teaching them to recognise these feelings and respond appropriately is key to fostering emotional intelligence. One effective approach is encouraging children to identify and name their emotions. When they can articulate that they feel angry or anxious rather than simply acting out, they take the first step towards managing those feelings constructively.
Another strategy is modelling emotional regulation. Children learn by observation, so when adults demonstrate calm responses to stressful situations, they provide a valuable blueprint for handling strong emotions. Talking through emotions openly, such as explaining how one might take deep breaths when frustrated, reinforces practical techniques children can apply themselves.
Providing structured coping mechanisms also helps children develop self-control. Techniques such as deep breathing exercises, mindfulness activities, and sensory-based strategies—like squeezing a small ball or listening to calming music—offer children tangible ways to regulate their emotions. Encouraging problem-solving further supports emotional regulation, as it shifts the focus from reacting impulsively to finding solutions. Whether it’s working through a disagreement or managing frustration with a difficult task, guiding children to think critically and consider their options builds resilience and independence.
The Importance of Patience and Resilience
Patience and resilience are closely linked to self-regulation. When children learn to tolerate frustration and setbacks, they develop confidence in their ability to handle difficulties without becoming overwhelmed. Encouraging a growth mindset—where mistakes and challenges are seen as opportunities to learn rather than failures—helps foster perseverance.
Adults can support resilience by acknowledging children's emotions while also helping them move forward constructively. Validating a child’s disappointment while encouraging them to try again reinforces emotional strength. Teaching children strategies to manage frustration, such as taking a break or adjusting their approach to a situation, helps them build persistence and adaptability. An important part of our policy is allowing children to deal with frustration and become calm before we fully explore the cause and impact of negative behaviour - this means that children are ready to discuss and think about the situation rather than just react defensively.
A supportive and structured environment plays a crucial role in developing self-regulation, patience, and resilience. When children feel secure, understood, and equipped with strategies to manage their emotions, they are more likely to approach life’s challenges with confidence and maturity. And, this is exactly our aim at Ysgol Panteg.

Gwent Parents Early Years Food Survey
We know that there are many things that influence the food that our youngest children eat, both in the home, and when they are out and about. The Gwent Public Health Team want to understand directly from you about specific barriers that your children face to eating healthily. The survey is for parents/carers of children aged 0-7. Your insights will be invaluable in helping the Gwent Public Health Team create meaningful changes that will help make eating well easier and more accessible for families across our communities in Gwent. The closing date for the survey is 18th May 2025.
