Emotional regulation is a skill, so let's teach it.

💚 Each book features a NEW positive affirmation and emotion.
💚 Use before and during time-ins to support emotional regulation.

I love this activity book for my child’s calm corner. We also use it in the car when he needs support calming down and it has great activities to help redirect his emotions and connect with his feelings.

Great for elementary students. I use it with special education students. It provides great visuals.

We use these for our daughter 8 years old as an alternative to the other tools in her time-in toolkit. She likes the characters in this series and the activities are fun and interesting... She is dyslexic and has fallen behind 2 years in school. The books are fun and beautiful made with ideas I would not have been able to come up with on my own.

These tools can be used by anyone committed to teaching and guiding children by example, replacing punishment with connection, redirection, and discipline.
