This is a digital download that you can print off and laminate yourself to make your own Calm Down Cards.
Little kids can have BIG feelings and sometimes it’s hard to know what to do with them and they come out in an explosive way. These cards are a great way for children to learn ways to help themselves calm down. (The physical act of stepping away and looking at the cards is a great help in itself)
Keys for success:
-
Always try to keep the cards in the same easy access spot
-
Show, read and model each card
-
Talk about what feeling frustrated, angry, overwhelmed and calm feels like so children can put words to their feelings.
-
When a child is starting to feel frustrated, angry or overwhelmed discuss this feeling with them and suggest that they might like to look at the cards to help them feel better. Eventually they will recognise this feeling themselves and use the cards without reminders.
