A gentle, empowering tool for big feelings and stronger connection.
Big emotions can feel overwhelming, for kids and parents. This printable co-regulation plan helps you and your child work together to understand, prepare for, and respond to emotional overload in a supportive, neuro-affirming way.
Designed specifically for neurodivergent children aged 8–15, this plan is more than a worksheet, it’s a conversation starter. It’s a way to say, “You’re not in trouble. I’m here to help you feel safe.
