Visual Emotional Regulation Posters + Parent/Teacher Guide

A simple colour-based grounding tool that helps children settle, focus, and return to calm — anytime, anywhere.

Children often need gentle, predictable ways to settle their bodies and reconnect with their environment — especially during moments of overwhelm, transition, or emotional intensity.
The Universal Colour Grounding Calm Kit offers a beautifully simple, research-informed visual tool that uses colour noticing to help children feel safe, centred, and ready to continue their day.

Designed for home, school, therapy spaces, tutoring groups, church programmes, after-school clubs, and calm corners, this kit provides child-friendly posters and clear adult guidance without specialist jargon.
It is accessible, warm, and intuitive — perfect for ages 5–12.

No scripts to memorise.
No pressure on the child to talk.
Just gentle noticing, one colour at a time.
