13 Evidence-Based Calming Strategy Cards for Kids
These 13 evidence-based calming strategy cards are designed to help children regulate their emotions, calm their bodies, and feel more in control during moments of stress, overwhelm, or big feelings.
Each card introduces a simple, child-friendly strategy drawn from research in occupational therapy, child psychology, sensory integration, and social-emotional learning. The strategies support the nervous system through breathing, movement, sensory input, grounding, and emotional awareness, making them effective for use at home, in classrooms, or during therapy sessions.
The cards are easy for parents, teachers, and children to use together—or for children to gradually use independently. Clear visuals and concise instructions help kids understand what to do and why it helps, building self-regulation skills they can carry with them over time.
Ideal for:
Managing anxiety, frustration, and emotional overwhelm
Supporting sensory regulation and focus
Building emotional awareness and coping skills
Daily routines, transitions, and calming corners
These cards are especially helpful for neurodivergent learners, including autistic children, but are beneficial for all kids learning how to calm their bodies and minds in a healthy, supportive way.
A practical, empowering tool that turns calming strategies into skills children can actually use—when they need them most.
