Big Feelings Gentle Days - A Calm-Down & Emotional Check-In Toolkit for Families

Big Feelings, Gentle Days is a gentle, practical toolkit created to support children through big emotions and to support you as the adult holding space for them.

It was made for the everyday moments. The meltdowns that come out of nowhere. The worries that surface at bedtime. The emotions that feel bigger than the day itself. This isn’t about fixing feelings or rushing children through them. It’s about slowing things down, offering steadiness, and helping emotions feel safer to experience.

Inside, you’ll find simple, calming tools designed to help children notice, name, and move through their feelings in ways that feel manageable and kind. Everything is grounded in connection, emotional safety, and gentle nervous system support, without pressure, overwhelm, or complicated instructions.

This resource is just as much for parents and caregivers as it is for children. You don’t need to have all the answers. These tools are here to support you to respond with calm, confidence, and compassion, even on the hard days.

Big Feelings, Gentle Days can be used during emotional moments, as part of a calm routine, or dipped into whenever things feel a bit wobbly.

There’s no right way to use it. Just gentle support, offered one moment at a time.
