The Calm Crew Kids

Six calm routine cards, for the moments that need one more tool.

Print them, cut them, and keep them somewhere your child can reach on their own — a backpack pocket, the car, a spot by the front door.

What's inside

Six routines, three calm guides.

Each card is led by one of the characters your child already knows — a feeling to name, a strategy to try, or a way to feel steady again.

● Bree · Feeling

Name the Feeling

​

“I feel ___. That feeling is okay.”

● Tessa · Strategy

Slow Breaths

​

“Breathe in. Breathe out. Slowly.”

● Leo · Grounding

Find a Quiet Spot

​

“Find a quiet spot. Stay there until you feel ready.”

● Bree · Feeling

Big Feelings

​

“I feel a lot right now. That's okay.”

● Tessa · Strategy

Count It Out

​

“Count slowly to five. One breath for each number.”

● Leo · Grounding

Stay Close

​

“Find someone calm. Sit close. You don't have to talk.”

I built these because my own house needed them too. This isn't a fix — just one more tool for the moment a big feeling shows up faster than words do. You know your child. This is something to have ready, not something to get right.
