Description
The Self-Regulation Reset Visual Prompt Pack gives teachers, therapists, and parents a practical way to help kids navigate big emotions and challenging transitions. These visuals can be used before, during, or after dysregulation—whether a child is anxious, frustrated, overwhelmed, or recovering from a meltdown.
Each set includes multiple visual strips and picture cards that can be laminated and placed wherever you need them most—on desks, therapy tables, in your purse, on clipboards, or even your lanyard for quick access on the go. Use them to guide kids through a structured reset routine, helping them calm their bodies, regain control, and rejoin daily activities with confidence.
Use these visuals:
-
When you notice signs of dysregulation starting
-
Before a known trigger (like transitions or separation)
-
After a meltdown, to help reset and rejoin routines
-
To support anxious kids during stressful moments
Where to keep them:
-
On desks, tables, or folders for easy classroom access
-
In therapy spaces, cars, or purses for on-the-go regulation
-
On your lanyard for quick use in hallways or transitions
-
With laminated instruction cards on the back for reference
Ways to use:
-
Tape strips to desks to guide group resets after transitions
-
Use your lanyard set during waiting times or transitions
-
Move through visuals as a warm-up before sessions or lessons
-
Include in a calm-down corner with other sensory tools
-
Let kids build their own reset sequences by adding velcro to the cards
- Pull up one of the Google Slides presentations and share a self-regulation sequence on your tablet, phone, Smart board, or computer. Perfect for the whole class to do together!
Whether facilitated by an adult as a co-regulation tool or used independently once learned, these visuals empower children to manage emotions through structure, connection, and repetition.
🩵 Designed by pediatric therapists to make emotional regulation simple, visual, and effective—wherever kids learn and play.
