Free display set. One word per A4 page - fast, heavy, tight, steady - for a strip above a reading corner or a nurture space. One thing to try on each page. Four pages. Print all four and put them in a row, or use one at a time. WHAT IS ON EACH PAGE fast - push the wall heavy - sit down low tight - breathe out longer than in steady - nothing to do HOW IT IS MEANT TO BE USED The words go on the wall so they are already familiar on the day they are needed, rather than being introduced in the middle of something. One word is enough. Nothing needs to follow it. Point at one yourself. The words are for the adults in the room too. Steady is not the goal. It is one of four places a body can be, and some days a body is not there. That is allowed. Unsure is always an allowed answer. WHY THERE IS NO COLOUR CODING The four words are not levels, stages or traffic lights, and they are not tied to behaviour. Fast is not worse than heavy. They are body facts, not feelings, and a child will usually agree with a body fact and argue with a feeling. WHO IT IS FOR ELSA and emotional literacy sessions, SEMH and SEND provision, nurture rooms, EYFS, KS1 and KS2. PRINTING Four A4 portrait pages. No bleed, so any school printer will handle it. Fonts embedded. Free to print and use. Nothing to sign. From The Regulated Human Co.

Free daily check-in chart for a whole class. Thirty boxes per word, so every child can mark where their body is. Four plain words - fast, heavy, tight, steady. A4 landscape, two sides. Side one is the chart. Side two is a page for the adults using it. WHAT IS ON IT fast - push the wall heavy - sit down low tight - breathe out longer than in steady - nothing to do HOW IT IS MEANT TO BE USED Children point, or make a mark. That is the whole job. Print a fresh one each day, or slip it into a poly pocket or laminate it and use a pen you can wipe off. Nothing carries over. Tomorrow is a new chart, and that is the point. Nobody is named on it. That is deliberate, and it is why children mark it honestly. Point at one yourself. It shows the chart is not a thing done to children. Steady is not the goal. It is one of four places a body can be, and some days a body is not there. WHY THERE IS NO COLOUR CODING The four words are not levels, stages or traffic lights, and they are not tied to behaviour. Fast is not worse than heavy. They are body facts, not feelings, and a child will usually agree with a body fact and argue with a feeling. FOR THE ADULTS Side two covers letting children point rather than naming the feeling for them, doing it yourself first, and what to consider if a child is in the same hard column most days. WHO IT IS FOR ELSA and emotional literacy sessions, SEMH and SEND provision, nurture rooms, EYFS, KS1 and KS2. PRINTING A4 landscape, double sided. No bleed, so any school printer will handle it.

Free one-page staff briefing. How to use four body words - fast, heavy, tight, steady - across a whole setting, what to say, and what these resources deliberately do not do. One side of A4, for a staffroom wall, an induction pack or ten minutes of a staff meeting. THE FOUR WORDS Four words for what a body is doing. They are body facts, not feelings - a child will usually agree with a body fact and argue with a feeling. USING THEM Say them about yourself first. It shows they are for everyone, adults included. Point rather than ask. The poster does the asking. One word is enough. Nothing needs to follow it. Steady is not the goal. It is one of four places a body can be. Every adult uses the same four words. That is what makes them work. WHAT THESE RESOURCES DO NOT DO No lesson at the end. Nothing a child is told to feel. No promise that it works. No scores, stickers or rewards. No colour coding, because a state is not a traffic light and a child is not on a level. WHEN A CHILD IS PAST WORDS Point, or sit lower than them. Talking can wait until afterwards. WHO IT IS FOR ELSAs, teaching assistants, SENCOs, class teachers and lunchtime staff. Consistency across adults is the part that makes a shared vocabulary work, which is why this is written for everyone rather than for one role. PRINTING One A4 page, single sided.

Free sheet of four A6 cards to cut out. One card per child for a desk, a tray or a lanyard, with the four words - fast, heavy, tight, steady - and one thing to try for each. Four cards per A4 sheet with cut lines. Print as many sheets as you need. WHAT IS ON EACH CARD fast - push the wall heavy - sit down low tight - breathe out longer than in steady - nothing to do WHY A CARD AS WELL AS A WALL POSTER A class chart is deliberately anonymous, which is what makes children mark it honestly, but it leaves nothing for the child who needs the words within reach. This is that. A child can point at their own card without the room noticing, which matters for the ones who will not put a hand up. HOW IT IS MEANT TO BE USED One word is enough. Nothing needs to follow it. Unsure is always an allowed answer. Steady is not the goal. It is one of four places a body can be, and some days a body is not there. That is allowed. WHY THERE IS NO COLOUR CODING The four words are not levels, stages or traffic lights, and they are not tied to behaviour. Fast is not worse than heavy. They are body facts, not feelings, and a child will usually agree with a body fact and argue with a feeling. WHO IT IS FOR ELSA and emotional literacy sessions, SEMH and SEND provision, nurture rooms, EYFS, KS1 and KS2. Useful for one-to-one work and for children who find speaking up hard. PRINTING One A4 sheet, four A6 cards, cut lines included. Card stock or laminate if they are going to live in a tray. No bleed, so any school printer will handle it. Free to print and use. Nothing to sign. From The Regulated Human Co.

Free A4 page to copy and send home. Explains the four words a setting uses - fast, heavy, tight, steady - and what a parent can do when a child uses one at home. The point of it is that the same words work in both places. A child who can say “tight” at school and have it understood at home is doing something most advice never gets to. WHAT IT SAYS The four words describe what a body is doing, not how a child is meant to feel. If your child uses one at home, you do not need to fix it or ask why. Saying it back is enough. Steady is not the goal. It is one of four places a body can be. WHY THERE IS NO COLOUR CODING The words are not levels, stages or traffic lights, and they are not tied to behaviour. Fast is not worse than heavy. They are body facts, not feelings, and a child will usually agree with a body fact and argue with a feeling. HOW SETTINGS USE IT Copy it for a book bag, put it in a newsletter, hand it out at a parents evening, or send it home when a child starts using the words in class. There is room at the foot of the page for your own note or stamp. WHO IT IS FOR Parents and carers of children in EYFS, KS1 and KS2. Useful alongside ELSA and emotional literacy work, SEMH and SEND provision and nurture rooms. PRINTING One A4 page, single sided. No bleed, so any school printer or photocopier will handle it.

Free A3 and A4 poster. Four plain words for what a body is doing - fast, heavy, tight, steady. Children point at one, and each word has one thing to try. Put it at child height in a classroom, nurture room or SEND provision. A child who cannot say what is wrong can nearly always point at a picture. Ninety seconds, then teaching starts. WHAT IS ON IT fast - push the wall heavy - sit down low tight - breathe out longer than in steady - nothing to do HOW IT IS MEANT TO BE USED Point at one yourself first. It shows the poster is not a thing done to children. One word is enough. Nothing needs to follow it. Steady is not the goal. It is one of four places a body can be, and some days a body is not there. That is allowed. Unsure is always an allowed answer. WHY THERE IS NO COLOUR CODING The four words are not levels, stages or traffic lights, and they are not tied to behaviour. Fast is not worse than heavy. Colour coding tells a child which column is the right answer, and there is not one. They are body facts, not feelings, and a child will usually agree with a body fact and argue with a feeling. WHO IT IS FOR ELSA and emotional literacy sessions, SEMH and SEND provision, nurture rooms, EYFS, KS1 and KS2. The same four words work for the adults in the room.
