A Simple, Science-Backed Toolkit for Calming Big Emotions Fast
Big emotions can show up fast — and when they do, knowing what to say and what to do makes all the difference.
The Calm-Down Tools Mini Pack is a practical, easy-to-use digital toolkit designed to help parents, caregivers, and educators support children through anger, frustration, and emotional overload in the moment.
This mini pack focuses on co-regulation, not punishment — giving you simple, research-based tools that help calm the body first so learning and connection can follow.
What’s Included
✔ Breathing Technique for Kids
Child-friendly breathing strategies that combine breath, movement, and visual focus to help calm the nervous system quickly.
✔ “What to Say When Your Child Is Angry” Scripts
Ready-to-use phrases that validate feelings, set boundaries, and prevent power struggles — especially helpful when you don’t know what to say.
✔ Physical Regulation Tools
Simple movement-based strategies that help children safely release anger and tension stored in the body.
✔ Quick Parent Cheat Sheet
A one-page guide that walks you through the calming process step-by-step, reminding you what to focus on during emotional moments.
Why This Works
When children are angry, their brains are not ready for reasoning or consequences. This mini pack is grounded in neuroscience and social-emotional learning research, supporting:
• Emotional regulation
• Nervous system calming
• Connection before correction
• Skill-building instead of punishment
These tools are designed to be used at home, in the car, before school, after school, or in public settings — anywhere big emotions show up.
Who This Is For
✔ Parents of toddlers, preschoolers, and elementary-age children
✔ Caregivers and educators supporting emotional regulation
✔ Families looking for gentle, effective alternatives to timeouts
✔ Anyone wanting calm, confident responses during meltdowns
