What makes us different?

There’s a better way to help kids regulate emotions, and it starts with time in.

Using a ‘time-in’ instead of timeout means you can confidently deal with tantrums, successfully comfort your child, and create peace in the home. 

(yes, it’s possible).

NO MORE TIME OUTS!

(here’s how our ‘time-ins’ work)

1. Create a Peaceful Place

Set up an inviting space in your home with the Peaceful Poster Set. 

Place them at your child’s eye level, and decorate the area with soft toys, cushions or your child’s art to make it welcoming. 

2. Label Emotions

Go to the Peaceful Place when your child’s unregulated, anxious, needing connection, a reset after school, or when they’re faced with a new experience. 

Use the My Feelings poster to identify the zone of regulation, then point to, label and (if able) discuss the feeling.  

3. Self-select a comfort strategy

In the peaceful place, your child can self-select an activity from the My Calming Strategies poster to bring them calm and comfort. 

Activities include hugs, puzzles, music, snacks, going outside and more.

Emotionally intelligent children? I’ll take two (or 3, or 4…)

We can’t protect our children from everything in life, but we can teach them to identify and manage their emotions in a healthy way.

And for us at Little People, Big Emotions? That starts young.

“Your posters, memory card games and affirmations have come into heavy rotation in our home with my 5yo. He loooooves playing memory with the ‘feeling cards’, choosing them over his Paw Patrol memory game every time 😍.”
Jennifer Gensch
“We’ve been using your Peaceful Place pack with our highly sensitive nearly 4yo, and our 1.5 yr old. And the difference is amazing.  He took to it straight away, and frequently asks to ‘go look at the picture.’ His meltdowns have been way less frequent and when they happen he calms down way more. And I have been able to calm myself down easier before getting to breaking point. I can already see the difference this is making for my boys, and I know it will help me to raise them to be emotionally mature young men. THANK YOU.”
Nathalie Dean-Milo
“This morning my 2yr old pushed my 5 yr old because she didn’t want to share the bathroom mirror at teeth time 🙄 Miss 5 went to play and come back to do her teeth later. Miss 2 started crying. Went to our Peaceful Place. She pointed to the ‘sad’ picture on the poster and told me she was sad she had pushed her sister. I asked what we could do about that. She went off to find her sister and said sorry and they had a hug 🤗🙌❤️”

Our posters give you a simple, game changing strategy…and yes, it involves colour coding.

(A-types get excited.) 

Our four zones of regulation teach your kids to recognise what high and low energy emotions feel like in the body. 

From there? They choose a specific feeling and aligned calming strategy from our poster duo.
