ELSA SUPPORT - Traffic light toolkit for emotions, coping skills, calming, relaxation, regulation

This resource is ideal for working one to one with a child. The red light is the negative emotion such as anger, frustration, fear, worry, sad and upset. The green light is the positive emotion such as happy, chilled, content, ok, calm, and confident. The amber/yellow light is all the things the child can do to help get from the red light to the green light. These are the tools.

Make sure you go through the resource with the child and decide which ‘tools’ they need to use or try.

Print and laminate this resource, Cut out the cards and keep in a little zip folder, Use either velcro or blu tak to stick the cards onto the base board.

If you need the cards to be bigger just print all of it onto A3 paper and laminate.
