Feelings & Calm
Naming big feelings and finding the way back to calm.
Big feelings can arrive like a storm for a neurodivergent child — fast, loud, and hard to come back from. These gentle, visual worksheets help your child put words to what they're feeling and find their own way back to calm, building emotional skills without lectures or shame. They're a tool for the calm after, and a plan for next time.
Fill them in together on screen or print them. Try a free one and build a calm-down plan side by side.

Questions about feelings & calm
My child melts down over small things — is that ADHD?
Big, fast emotional reactions are very common with ADHD (it's called emotional dysregulation). It isn't naughtiness, and gentle tools genuinely help them learn to self-soothe over time.
When should we use these?
Best when everyone's already calm — as a way to name feelings and make a plan together, not in the heat of a meltdown.
