If you're living with a child who goes from fine to full-body meltdown in 0.2 seconds… you're not failing.
You're parenting a nervous system — not "bad behaviour".
The Family Calm Kit is a gentle, practical set of printable tools + real-life scripts to help you build calm bridges through the hardest parts of the day: mornings, transitions, screens, bedtime, and food.
Just calm you can actually use when life is loud.
The morning battle: dressed / teeth / shoes / out the door
Meltdowns when play has to stop and you have to leave
"Turn off the tablet" without it turning into a war
Bedtime stalling, refusal, and nervous-system bedtime chaos
Food struggles and "I hate this dinner" blow-ups
Anxiety and worry (with space to notice body signals + supports)
✅ Visual routines (so you're not repeating yourself 47 times)
Morning Routine visual checklist
Evening Routine visual checklist
✅ Regulation tools (quick resets for busy families)
3–3–3 grounding
Body Reset ideas (humming/music, butterfly taps, wall pushes, balloon breath)
Problem-solve prompts (only when calm)
Connection + gratitude prompts
✅ Anxiety Tools worksheet
Gentle prompts to help children name:
what makes them anxious
what they notice in their body
what helps and who can help
✅ Calm Bridge™ Script (ABCDE) + PDA-friendly language swaps
A universal template for transitions that reduces power struggles:
Acknowledge
Boundary
Choice
Direction
Ease
Plus demand-sensitive (PDA) adjustments: more declarative language, fewer "performance pressure" words.
✅ Real-life scripts for the most common flashpoints
Including:
"I don't want to get dressed"
stopping play to leave
brushing teeth
shoes
dinner
bedtime
turning off the tablet (with neuro explanation: "brains want more-more-more")
Because your calm tone regulates their nervous system — and when the nervous system feels safer, cooperation becomes possible.
This kit gives you:
the words to say
the structure to hold
the bridge to the next step
…when your own brain is tired too.
This is for you if:
you're exhausted from repeating yourself
mornings feel like a daily fight
transitions are the hotspot (screens, shoes, leaving, bedtime)
your child is neurodivergent (ASD/ADHD/PDA traits) or just has big feelings
you want boundaries without shouting, bribing, or falling into power struggles
Download it
Print the routine pages (or keep on your phone)
Pick one flashpoint script and try it for 3 days
Keep the words the same: same order, same words, same calm

Is this behaviour management?
No — it's nervous-system support. The focus is helping kids feel safe enough to cooperate.
Will this work for neurodivergent kids / PDA profiles?
It includes PDA/demand-sensitive language swaps (declarative options, reduced pressure language).
Do I need to print it?
Printing helps (especially routines), but you can absolutely use it from your phone.
Is it instant access?
Yes — it's a digital download.
