I created these FREE Calm Down Cards for my son Jack.
At times he struggles to self regulate. I included some of his favourite strategies to self regulate.
Autistic Anxiety
I remind myself often that if Jack is worrying about something then it is a BIG deal, even if it is something I would never have thought would make anyone worry (like going to a Halloween Party), I take it seriously and I try to help him support him.
I created this Calm Down Cards so Jack can bring one in his pocket. I printed mine off, cut them and then laminated them. I model for him how to use the calm down cards and he will practice using them with me when he isn’t anxious so he can know how to use them when anxiety takes hold.
