This is a digital download that you can print and laminate at home to create your own Calm Down Cards.

Little children can have BIG feelings, and sometimes those feelings can be hard to manage—coming out in explosive ways. These cards help children learn simple strategies to calm themselves. The physical act of stepping away and looking through the cards can be calming in itself.

Keys to success:

Keep the cards in the same easy-to-access spot.
Introduce each card by showing, reading, and modelling it together.
Talk about what it feels like to be frustrated, angry, overwhelmed, and calm, so children can begin to put words to their feelings.
When a child begins to feel frustrated, angry, or overwhelmed, talk with them about the feeling and suggest looking at the cards to help them feel better. Over time, they will learn to recognise these feelings and use the cards independently.
