Your child will learn about what it means to be regulation - and that it’s not always staying calm! We’ll look at drainers and rechargers and some positive coping strategies.

  • I have yet to have a child who hasn’t enjoyed doing the activities - however some children may defend against learning about emotions or their body. If this is your child, take this slow and don’t put pressure on your child to complete the activities Make it optional for them and gently incorporate it into you life by normalising, naming and using language that supports mental health.

  • The curriculum is in video format with written instructions along with printable handouts, examples and photos as needed.
