School Licence: A Gentle Guide for When It Feels Too Much

A gentle, printable 6-page guide designed to support children who experience big feelings, and the adults who support them.

This school licence allows you to use the resource across your setting, making it accessible for classrooms, pastoral support, SEN provision, and one-to-one work.

Created to be used in real moments, this guide helps children begin to understand what’s happening inside them, while supporting adults to respond with calm, curiosity and care.

Each page can also be used as part of a simple, flexible 5-lesson sequence, or as standalone support when needed.

Illustrated with Curio the monkey, the guide uses expressive visuals alongside simple language and tick boxes, giving children choice in how they express themselves, whether through recognising, pointing, ticking, or talking.

Inside you’ll find simple, practical ways to explore:

• sensory experiences and overwhelm
• recognising and naming feelings
• where feelings are felt in the body
• what might be underneath behaviour
• supportive responses that reduce escalation
• ways to help children feel safe again
• gentle reflection for both child and adult

There is no right or wrong way to use this.
It can be adapted for different ages, needs, and environments.

Designed to support connection, not correction.

A calm, supportive tool for everyday use in schools.
