A Child-Friendly Faith-Based Visual Tool for Choice, Trust, and Emotional Regulation

My Circle of Control (Faith Edition) is a thoughtfully designed emotional wellbeing resource for Early Years and SEN contexts, integrating Christian faith with healthy emotional development.

Using the familiar Circle of Control concept, this resource helps children understand the difference between:

• the choices they can make

• and the things they cannot change

Children are gently supported to recognise their words, actions, attitude, and responses as responsibilities they can manage, while learning that other people’s actions, the weather, and past events are not theirs to carry.

This faith edition introduces the idea of trusting God with what is outside their control, offering reassurance without placing spiritual responsibility on the child. It reinforces the message that children are cared for, supported, and not alone in managing big feelings.

The design remains intentionally simple, calm, and predictable—making it suitable for young children and those with additional communication, emotional, or sensory needs.

This is a preventative, everyday emotional wellbeing tool, designed to support both emotional and spiritual security.

• A4 Faith-Based Circle of Control Poster (tabletop or individual use)
