Overwhelmed kids or students? Get back to the green zone, quick!
Create a positive home or classroom environment with these delightful and engaging charts, posters, and worksheets.
Mom: Remember when you gave your sweet little munchkin a blue plate instead of a pink one, and world war three erupted?
Teachers: Remember when Tommy bonked Johnny over the head and you now have two crying students, but you’ve still got 20 to 30 other kids to manage.
You need a solution to get back to calm. Quick.
That’s why we’ve made this spectacular calm down bundle for those days when your kiddos need a safe, secure place (whether a corner, binder, or bin) to calm down and learn appropriate regulation strategies.
Remaining calm is difficult, especially for small children and especially when flooded with BIG emotions.
Stop throwing spaghetti at the wall hoping something will stick. Emotional regulation is a skill, just like learning your ABCs. Teach kids a better way. (And then move on to the magical day you know you can have).
At the next kid's party or school event, when your child or student gets upset or overwhelmed and suddenly starts calm breathing exercises (on their OWN), the other mom’s or teachers jaws will drop, and you’ll smile knowing you have a BIG secret tucked in your back pocket.
These posters/charts/worksheets will make a wonderful addition to your home or classroom.

FUN STUFF
For charts and cards I recommend printing on thick stock paper, so it's easier to hang, not as flimsy, and can handle some wear ‘n’ tear.
For worksheets, activities and guides, I recommend printing and keeping securely in a three ring binder. Easy Peasy.
If you've purchased a handy chart or set of cards, this isn't necessary, but boy oh boy, it sure skyrockets things to the next level of fun. Do you have a laminator? (If you don't have one, I like this one). Laminate your resources (amazing). We all know kids are hard on things, so now you won't have to keep printing your chart and cards every time they get a little beat up.
Many of our charts also use Velcro stickers. And this is the icing on the cake. Attach one side of the Velcro sticker to the task card, and one side to the chart. Ensure that you don't mix up the sides. (i.e., the "hook" side should be on the chart, and the "furry" side on the cards.) Now you can move the cards around at your leisure. (Plus it's SUPER fun for kids).
