Calming Cards: Emotional Regulation Strategies
This pack has been designed to help your child learn to communicate how they are feeling, and develop an awareness of ways they can manage ‘big’ emotions, like fear, anger, frustration and disappointment. Containing 30 calming cards, with proven strategies, along with another 5 blank template cards for your family to add to, this child-friendly collection has visual cues for each strategy, instructions, and easy-to-read font to make these regulation tools easy for your child to access.
There are also cue-cards, or mini cards, which you might like to print, laminate, cut out and collate on a card ring to have a portable list of strategies to take with you when you are out and about. These cards contain the name of the strategy along with the visual cue - again, there are multiples for you to add to.
A number of the strategies require equipment, such as drawing implements, or a puzzle. It is advised that you have a 'calm box' or 'calm corner' where you can keep all the things you need. The 5 'favourite strategies' page can be turned into a handy poster to add to this space as a reminder of the strategies that work best for you.
