Free Companion Guide for Home: A Gentle Guide for When It Feels Too Much

A gentle, printable guide to support children with big feelings at home.

Created alongside real-life moments of trying to understand, soothe, and connect, this guide offers a calm, simple way to help children notice what’s going on inside them and feel supported through it.

Designed for parents, carers, and families to use in everyday moments.

What’s inside

A 5-page printable guide that gently supports children to:

• notice their feelings
• understand what’s happening in their body
• recognise patterns in their world
• explore what helps them feel safe

Each page uses simple language, tick boxes, and Curio the monkey illustrations to help children express themselves in different ways, whether through words, pointing, or drawing.

How to use at home

There’s no right or wrong way to use this.

You might:
• sit alongside your child and explore together
• leave it out for them to come to in their own time
• use one page in a moment of overwhelm
• return to it gently over time

Follow their pace. Curiosity over correction.

What makes this different

This isn’t about fixing behaviour.

It’s about understanding what sits underneath it.

A soft, supportive tool to help you:
• slow things down
• respond with calm and care
• build connection and trust
