🎉 Exciting news: I gave my Calm Down Lap Book a whole new look! 🙌🏻 So many of y’all have had success with this resource in helping your students learn to regulate and manage their emotions. It is easily created and stored in a manila folder, and can travel from class to class with students who need it or be kept in a Calm Corner.

💕 One of the most meaningful reviews I received on this resource was from Randi, a school psychologist. She shared: “I bought this resource 4 weeks ago in a desperate attempt to help a kiddo. He’s a kindergartener in our self contained behavioral program who has had significant aggression, dysregulated behaviors, and emotional outbursts. My team was trying and failing miserably using an ABA approach. I’m talking 65 instances of seclusion and restraint in 5 weeks, with instances of aggression, non compliance, screaming, property destruction lasting up to 2.5 hours. We were at our breaking point when I saw your post for the Calm Down Lap Book. We shifted our mindset and focus for him into a more mental health treatment style than behavioral. In 4 weeks, he has learned that it is okay to have different feelings, that it’s okay to express our feelings, and that there are adults to help you work through them. Now, rather than raging, he is able to express how he is feeling and choose a strategy to help him get to his goal (which is almost always to rejoin the group). In 4 weeks, the duration of behaviors has reduced to either super quick turn around or MAX 4 minute episodes of crying (no aggression). Instances of seclusion and restraint are down significantly as well. We just had a meeting with parents who were in tears over how much progress they have seen with his self regulation and ability to manage his emotions. I can not thank you enough for posting this resource. It has made an incredible amount of difference. A month ago we were talking about outplacement. Now he is included with his typical peers for about 90% of the day. Thank you thank you for creating this and sharing it. Sorry for the rambles, I’m just so happy!!!"

Just about all of us feel nervous when it comes to

Just about all of us feel nervous when it comes to standardized and classroom tests, and adding in COVID anxiety and virtual learning can make testing even more nerve-racking! 😬 So, I created this set of digital and printable resources to teach students 8 test-taking skills and 9 strategies for coping with test anxiety. With this interactive lap book that is easily stored and created in a manila folder, students identify their feelings and worries about the test and practice calm down strategies to manage their fears. A relaxation script to set them up for success on test day is included, too! These resources are perfect for all students and can be used in just about any setting, both virtual and in-person! 🙌🏻
