Calm Social Story

Calm Social Story. Understanding Emotions

Support children with SEND to develop their understanding of feeling calm with this accessible and visual social story.

This resource explores what feeling calm might look and feel like, helping children recognise some of the signs that their body and mind may be calm and regulated.

Using simple, accessible language and Widgit symbols, the story supports children to develop their understanding of calm and recognise activities and experiences that may help them feel settled and regulated.

This social story can be used alongside sensory activities, visual supports, Makaton, AAC and adult modelling to help children develop an understanding of what calm feels like and recognise the things that help them feel regulated.

A visual, accessible and neuroaffirming resource to help children understand calm and recognise what feeling regulated can look and feel like.
