Mission 1 - Calm Tool Challenge
🐘 When Marcus pops up, his most important job is to help keep us safe.
When this happens, our body can feel busy, fast or overwhelmed.
It can be much harder to remember our calm tools in that moment.
That's why we practise them before we need them.
Every time we practise when we are feeling calm...
🐘 Eddie remembers
Then, when Marcus pops up, Eddie can gently remind us:
"I know something that might help."
Step 1
Let's become Calm Tool Detectives!
Which calm tools help your body feel calm?
Try lots of different ideas.
Maybe...
🧡 Long elephant trunk breaths
🧡 Press your feet into the floor
🧡 Wrap yourself in a blanket
🧡 Hug a teddy
🧡 Colour
🧡 Stretch
🧡 Listen to music
🧡 Sit quietly
Step 2
After trying one, ask:
❤️ How did my body feel before?
💛 How did my body feel afterwards?
💚 Would I use this again?
Family Chat
Ask everyone:
"What helped your body today?"
"What didn't help?"
"Which calm tool would you like to practise again tomorrow?"
"Grown-ups answer too."
Eddie Says.
Every time you practise, I remember a little more.
When Marcus pops up, I'll help you remember what works for your body.
