A practical, child-friendly tool to support emotional regulation when feelings get big. My Calm Cards are a visual toolkit designed to help neurodivergent children choose calming strategies when emotions start to rise. This pocket-sized pack includes 14 kid-focused regulation tools (printed double-sided across 7 sturdy A6 cards) all bound on a secure keyring so they stay together and are easy to flip through during high-stress moments. Each strategy is illustrated with a clear visual and simple language, helping children select what might help them in the moment - whether it’s deep breathing, asking for space, using noise-cancelling headphones, or getting a hug. These cards are not about stopping a meltdown entirely, and they’re not a guarantee of prevention. But they can help children regulate sooner, or reduce the intensity and duration of a meltdown. Used consistently and introduced with care, they provide a gentle way to intervene before emotions boil over, and support your child in choosing their own tools for self-regulation. Each pack includes: 14 calming strategies (7 double-sided cards for children) 1 double-sided instruction card and co-regulation support card for caregivers All cards are A6 landscape, full-colour and connected with a sturdy metal keyring in the top left corner My Calm Cards offer a simple, powerful way to bring calm to the chaos - even if the storm still comes. They are the perfect addition to your child’s regulation toolbox - and a beautiful complement to the Meltdown Tracker Extension or other Thrive for Kids resources.
