CALM
Calmness shows in slow breathing, soft smiles, and relaxed movements. Building quiet, peaceful moments in everyday life helps children feel steady and safe inside themselves.
Tips for Parents
🌟 Name the Emotion
Help your child recognize calmness by saying:
"You look really calm. Your face is relaxed and your body is resting."
🌟 Celebrate Calm Moments
Notice and enjoy these peaceful times together with a quiet story, a soft cuddle, or just sitting close.
🌟 Talk About Calm Strategies
Ask:
"What helped you feel calm?"
Helping kids notice what soothes them builds lifelong skills.
Bonus Tip:
If calm is hard to hold onto:
Practice little calm activities daily, like deep breathing, stretching, or lying under a blanket together. Calm is like a muscle — it gets stronger with practice!
