This space feels so cozy. Kids find what they need and make soft spots and safe places and take a rest or welcome their loved ones join. It’s my joy to watch. 💗

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.
