Help little bodies and big feelings find calm—together.
This sensory-based co-regulation toolkit gives teachers, parents, and caregivers simple, hands-on tools to model calm, teach self-regulation, and support emotional development through movement, visuals, and connection.
Full Product Description
When little ones experience big feelings, they need calm—not correction.
The Calm Together Cards were created to help adults—teachers, parents, and caregivers—model co-regulation through simple, sensory-based actions that make calming down feel safe, supported, and doable.

Each activity includes what to say, what to do, and why it helps—so you can respond with confidence and connection.
