The Big Feelings Toolkit | Meltdown & Emotional Regulation Support

Supporting children with big emotions, meltdowns and sensory overwhelm can feel exhausting.

This toolkit gives you practical, evidence-based tools to help your SEN child regulate, understand their feelings and reduce escalation over time.

Created by a SEN mum who needed support that actually worked.

What Is The Big Feelings Toolkit?

The Big Feelings Toolkit is a 3-part meltdown and emotional regulation support system for children with additional needs.

It includes:

• Meltdown Tracker
• Calm Cards
• Blaze and the Boiling Point (Book 1 in The Mood Mates series)

Together, these tools help you move from reacting to meltdowns, to understanding and supporting them.

Why This Works

Most families are stuck in reaction mode.

This toolkit helps you:

• Track patterns and triggers - The Meltdown Tracker helps you identify what’s happening before, during and after big emotional moments. Patterns become clearer. Conversations with schools and professionals become easier.
• Support your child in the moment - The Calm Cards give your child practical, visual regulation strategies they can use during overwhelm or escalation.
• Build emotional language BEFORE meltdowns happen - Blaze and the Boiling Point helps children understand frustration, anger and emotional build-up in a relatable, child-friendly way.

When children can name their feelings, they’re better able to manage them.

Who Is This For?

This toolkit is ideal for:

• Parents of children with SEN
• Families navigating autism or ADHD
• Children awaiting diagnosis
• Parents who want better meltdown support tools
• Families who want to build emotional regulation skills at home

Whether you’re at the beginning of your diagnosis journey or years into it, having the right tools in one place makes the world of difference.

What You’ll Receive

• 1 x Meltdown Tracker (an A6, spiral-bound notebook)
• 1 x Set of Calm Cards (an A6 set of cards, held together by a keyring)
• 1 x Blaze and the Boiling Point (a paperback children’s book)

All bundled together as a complete emotional regulation support system.

Why Families Love These Tools

Parents say they feel:
• More prepared
• Less reactive
• Better able to advocate
• More confident supporting big emotions

Because understanding reduces overwhelm - for both you and your child.
