READY TO PRINT - Emotional Thermometer Toolkit for use at home or in school. Suitable for Primary age, including young people with SEN or specific barriers associated with self-regulation. See more resources from MindBridge Hub for use at home and in school. An emotional thermometer is a visual tool that helps young people recognise, understand and communicate how they are feeling. It supports students to notice changes in emotions, stress levels and energy before feelings become overwhelming. The thermometer usually uses colours, numbers or zones to show different emotional states, from calm and regulated through to anxious, angry or overwhelmed. Students can use it to identify triggers, understand body signals and choose helpful coping or regulation strategies. Emotional thermometers are useful both at home and in school because they encourage emotional awareness, self-reflection and communication. They can also help trusted adults respond earlier with support, reducing escalation and helping young people feel safer, calmer and more understood.

WINDOW OF TOLERANCE WORKBOOK - FOR USE WITH PRIMARY AGE CHILDREN IN SCHOOL AND AT HOME. The Window of Tolerance guidance helps parents and teachers understand the range of emotional and physiological states in which children can learn, relate, and function effectively. Developed from neuroscience and trauma research, the concept explains that when a child is within their “window,” they can manage emotions, focus, and respond flexibly to challenges. Stress, anxiety, or trauma can push them outside this zone, leading to hyperarousal (fight/flight) or hypoarousal (shutdown). The guidance equips adults with strategies to recognise these states, respond calmly, and support children in returning to their optimal zone. For parents, it offers tools to nurture emotional regulation at home; for teachers, it provides approaches to create safe, supportive classrooms. By expanding a child’s window through consistent, compassionate support, adults can promote resilience, improve behaviour, and enhance learning outcomes, ensuring children feel secure, understood, and ready to engage with the world.
