Tuning into the internal sensations of the body are essential to build foundations which link to self regulation! At ETC, we watch this process unfold every. single. day. 🏛️👤🧠

Free HELPING CHILDREN CALM: CONNECTION BEFORE CORRECTION POSTER
So many adults try to guide a child when the child is already overwhelmed. We speak, we explain, we set limits, but nothing seems to work. The truth is simple. A child cannot listen when their body feels unsafe.

This free poster shows how connection helps turn the brain back on so the child can think, breathe and understand what we are saying. It gives easy steps any adult can use, such as slowing your movements, softening your voice, naming the feeling and waiting for the body to settle. Small changes can make a huge difference.

If you support children, kids or teens with big emotions or challenging behaviour, this guide is a helpful reminder that calm always comes first.

Comment CALM and we will message you a link to the free PDF of the poster.

I agree! 100%! 💛💛💛

Yes! How many times have you found moods and attitudes reset after a dose of outdoor play?

When the kids are bouncing off the walls, when tongues get sharp and siblings get testy, do yourself (and them) a favor, and head outside! You might just be surprised at how quickly they reset.
