Learning how to self-regulate is an important milestone in child development, especially in the early years of life. A child’s capacity to regulate their emotions can impact on their social and emotional wellbeing, and their ability to thrive in a complex world. When it comes to raising emotionally intelligent children, one of the most important things that adults can do is to help them explore strategies to regulate their emotions when experiencing heightened feelings.
Our Calm Down Cards include 37 research-based strategies to support your child’s brain functions when processing big and intense feelings. The cards provide different calming strategies, including both individual strategies and co-regulation strategies that encourage close connected support from adults. The cards also feature options for physical movement and sensory input to help reduce stress and anxiety and improve overall wellbeing.

· A6 size - 105mm x 148mm
· Professionally printed on 350gsm card stock, with matte laminate, and rounded corners

My Early Childhood Philosophy -
Childhood is a unique time of life, to be enjoyed and valued. It is a time where the foundations for lifelong learning and wellbeing are laid. As a professional early childhood educator first and foremost in all that I do, is the rights of the child.
I acknowledge the traditional people of the land on which I live and work. I pay my respects to elders, past and present as they hold the traditions and hopes for the future of this land.
