Health Services and Professionals

Being able to regulate our emotional state is not a skill that we are born with, some children require additional support to develop the awareness and understanding of how to manage their emotions.

Our easy-to-access books and resources provide a simplified approach for health services and professionals to use to teach a child the important skill of emotional-regulation.

These engaging child- friendly resources can be used individually or in a group, and for a variety of reasons. Including supporting a child to overcome anxiety, behaviour management, or helping a child to self-calm in an unfamiliar situation, such as being in hospital.

The say-and-do game, which is the core strategy of our resources, is a helpful teaching tool to share with parents and caregivers. So, they can become partners in the development of a child’s emotional well-being and know how to support their child through uncomfortable emotions using the power of the breath.
