Why I created The Calming Kit
I created The Calming Kit after living through the exhaustion of parenting a child with big, intense emotions. When my eldest son was very young, our days felt unpredictable and challenging. What I didn’t understand then was that he wasn’t being difficult, he just had huge emotions that he didn't understand, and I didn't know what to do with them. The Calming Kit was born from learning how to support regulation in real, practical ways, and from wanting other parents to have something tangible to reach for when words aren’t enough.
What Does Science say about regulation?
80%
of emotional regulation capacity is linked to caregiver responsiveness†
2 x
more likely to show meaningful improvements in emotional regulation with sensory support†
3 x
greater emotion regulation observed in securely attached children†
2 x
more likely to return to calm more quickly after emotional escalation with sensory support†
The Rhythm of Regulation
Immediate Interrupt
The moment your child sees the kit, curiosity and familiarity create a pause, interrupting escalation before it takes over.
After A few Uses
Your child begins to associate the kit, and you, with safety. You’re offering tools instead of lectures, creating a predictable, calming rhythm during big emotions.
Minutes Not Hours
As they engage with the tools, sensory input signals safety to the nervous system, allowing the body to calm and regulate.
Over Time
Through repeated sensory play and support, children learn what regulation feels like in their body and gradually need the kit less and less.
