As a downloadable and printable item you can work through multiple issues and difficulties as the file is yours to keep and print as many times as you need. It develops self awareness, emotional literacy and regulation skills.
It guides children to think about challenging emotions as a temporary state, and one they can stay in control of, responding in a manner they choose. There are several approaches to understanding and dealing with big emotions in the pack. It also teaches children how to recognise when they are 'too busy' and over stimulated and encourages them to find 'unbusy' activities to relax.

- identify overwhelm
- identify big feelings and triggers
- learn how thoughts impact feelings and behaviours
- use accurate thinking to overcome anxiety, frustration etc
