Body mapping cards and matching recovery mat

What is ‘body mapping’?
Body mapping cards are a useful tool used to help children to:

  • name their emotions
  • understand their emotions
  • how these emotions affect their bodies
  • strategies they can use to get back to a comfortable state
    Quite often a child is showing distressed behaviour because they don’t understand their emotions or how to manage these. This can be very overwhelming.

Do these cards work?
Yes! There is lots of research and evidence into the success of teaching children how to understand and name their emotions. We have found emotion resources an invaluable tool in the classroom and for sending home to support parents. These cards work best when modelled frequently by the adults and the matching vocabulary is used consistently.

The Recovery Mat: (matching resource)
After a behavioural incident in the classroom, it’s important for the children involved to have a recovery meeting with an adult to talk through the event. In this meeting you can discuss what strategies they could use in the future to prevent a repeat incident and how to amend the current incident. This recovery mat is an A4 printable which is easy to grab and gives you both visuals and discussion prompts to make your recovery meeting as successful as possible.

Each download comes with a how-to-use guide and includes FAQs relevant to each resource.

The Regulation Collection

**The entire regulation collection to download:** BUYING THIS BUNDLE SAVES 33% - Resilience cards - Transition arrows - Body mapping cards with recovery map - Entrance check in - FREE Breathing exercises - FREE Emotions fan - FREE Calm corner bunting - FREE List of fiddle tools Self-Regulation is the ability to recognise and manage emotions and resulting behaviors in different settings and activities. Children who learn to self-regulate their emotions can make friends more easily, relate more successfully with peers and adults, cope with disappointment better and are less impulsive. Within the classroom, if a child can self-regulate more effectively they are less likely to show signs of distressed behaviour. We have created this resource collection to help teach self-regulation within your classroom. Across the collection we have used a child friendly font that is suitable for all children and young people within education. In our own classrooms, we teach writing in precursive font, however we knew this inclusion collection would be to support emotional literacy rather than writing, so we stuck to a print font to make it more visually accessible for everyone. Some of these resources have been in the making for over 2 years! Olivia started creating these resources when working down south in her Year 2 class. She started sharing pictures of her hand drawn regulation resources on her Instagram account back in 2019! Since then, the resources have been adapted as more research came out and as her professional development grew. Now with Lisa, the resources have been made to a higher, digital quality making them more accessible for teachers to print for the whole class, particular children, send home to parents, give copies to 1:1 teachers, etc. Each download comes with a how-to-use guide and includes FAQs relevant to each resource.
