EMOTIONAL REGULATION & SENSORY GUIDE

For most kids, the body goes first. A child who is over- or under-stimulated will struggle with feelings no matter how good their coping skills are.

That's why this guide covers both. It's built around a simple volcano check-in — Cool, Warming, Bubbling, Erupting — that gives your child words for how their body feels, and gives you a warning before things boil over.

What's inside

• The volcano check-in chart, plus a point-to board for your child
• Body clues checklists, so you learn your child's earliest warning signs
• The eight senses behind behavior — including the three most parents never learned about
• A sensory profile worksheet: what your child seeks, what they avoid
• The break menu — energy-out and turn-it-down options, as cut-out cards
• Breathing your child can see: square breathing and the flower-and-candle
• A fill-in regulation plan for each stage
• How to set up a sensory-friendly space
• Common questions, answered honestly

Who it's for

Parents whose child swings between too much energy and complete overload — and who want to catch it earlier.
