Description

Complete calm-down kit with visual tools: feelings chart, breathing exercises, coping strategy cards, and a calm bottle.

Why it helps

Combines sensory tools with emotional literacy. Kids learn to identify emotions AND use sensory strategies. The visual cue cards are especially helpful for non-verbal kids.

Pros

  • Includes everything to set up a calm-down corner
  • Visual cues work for non-verbal kids
  • OT and therapist approved
  • Teaches skills, not just calms in the moment
  • Durable cards and components

Cons

  • Adults need to introduce and model the tools first
  • Younger kids may play rather than use therapeutically

How to introduce this product

  • •Start with 10-minute sessions and gradually increase
  • •Let your child choose when to use the product — forced use can backfire
