A coping skills for kids bundle for home, classroom and counseling room
When a seven-year-old is in the middle of a meltdown, a lecture won’t land. Neither will “calm down”. Their thinking brain has gone offline for a few minutes, and what they need is something simple and physical: a breathing trick, a quiet corner, a picture on the wall that helps them point to how they feel. The real teaching happens later, once everyone’s calm, when you can talk about what happened and practise a better plan for next time.
The Kids Big Feelings Bundle gives you tools for both moments. Visual supports for the hard minute itself. Workbooks and worksheets for the calm hour after. And executive functioning pages that build the routines and planning skills that prevent a lot of meltdowns in the first place.
What’s inside
1. Wobble to Steady Self-Regulation Workbook ($12.99 alone)
Wobble to Steady is a 207-page workbook that teaches children what feelings are, where they show up in the body and what to do about them. It moves from naming emotions to noticing early warning signs, then to a toolbox of coping strategies: breathing exercises, movement breaks, grounding, positive self-talk and asking for help.
There are pages on anger, worry, disappointment and frustration, plus mindfulness activities, impulse control games and growth mindset pages. Calm corner posters are included, so the strategies kids learn in the book are on the wall when they need them. It comes in US Letter and A4, in colour and low-ink.
2. FeelBright Kids Coping Skills Toolkit ($15.99)
FeelBright is a practical set of fillable therapy-style worksheets. Children draw and write about feelings, identify triggers, rate the size of a problem and build their own coping plan. There are dedicated sections for anger, anxiety and worry, along with CBT-based activities that help kids notice unhelpful thoughts and swap them for kinder ones.
It also includes coping skills cards to keep in a pocket or pencil case, affirmation cards, a kids gratitude journal and sleep hygiene pages for children whose worries show up at bedtime. School counselors and play therapists use it in sessions. Parents use it at the kitchen table.
3. Color My Calm Feelings Check-In Kit ($2.99)
Color My Calm is the visual side of the bundle. It includes calm down corner posters, a set of calm down cards with simple strategies, a feelings thermometer that shows how big a feeling is, a feelings wheel, feelings bingo and a classroom check-in chart. Children move their name or a clip to show how they’re feeling when they arrive, which helps adults spot who needs a little extra support that day. These supports are especially helpful for non-verbal children and those with ADHD or autism.
4. Brain Captain Executive Functioning Worksheets ($5.99)
Executive functioning is the set of skills that helps us plan, start tasks, stay focused, remember instructions and control impulses. Many children, especially those with ADHD or autism, find these skills harder, which leads to frustration and outbursts. Brain Captain offers 48 pages that build them one at a time: visual schedules, a homework planner, morning and bedtime routine charts, task breakdown sheets, focus games and impulse control activities. It’s written in a playful captain theme that kids enjoy.
Setting up a simple calm system
- Day one: Print the Color My Calm posters and cards and set up a calm corner with a cushion and a few sensory items.
- First week: Introduce the feelings thermometer and use the check-in chart every morning.
- Daily: Do one short activity from Wobble to Steady or FeelBright when everyone is calm, not mid-meltdown.
- Ongoing: Use Brain Captain routine charts and visual schedules to reduce the daily friction points.
- After a hard moment: Use a FeelBright worksheet to talk through what happened and what to try next time.
Why practice matters more than the perfect worksheet
Self-regulation is a skill, like riding a bike. Children don’t learn it from one great conversation. They learn it from short, regular practice when things are calm, so the strategy is ready when things aren’t. Five minutes a day with the workbook beats an hour once a month. Consistent language helps too. If home and school both talk about “the feelings thermometer” or “being in the red zone”, children connect the dots much faster.
