The Calm and Confident Teen Toolkit

🌿 The Calm and Confident Teen Toolkit

The Calm & Confident Teen Toolkit is a gentle, ready-to-use calming resource designed to

support children and teens, including autistic and neurodivergent youth, who experience

anxiety, sensory overwhelm, or big emotions.

This toolkit is not about changing who a child

is. It focuses on support, self-awareness, and

regulation, offering, flexible tools that can be adapted for different ages, abilities, and

individual needs.

✨ What's included:

• Simple check-in pages to help identify needs
• Step-by-step calm-down tools for big feelings
• Grounding and breathing support
• Sensory-friendly options (no "one-size-fit-all")
• Gentle, age-appropriate language

This resource can be used at home, in school settings, or on the go,

and is designed to be supportive, respectful, and autism-affirming.

👥 Who This Toolkit Is For:

• Children and teens (approximately ages 8-17, adaptable by age)
• Autistic and neurodivergent children and teens
• Youth who experience anxiety, sensory sensitivities, or emotional overwhelm
• Parents, caregivers, educators, and therapists seeking respectful tools

🌱 Important Note:

This toolkit is a supportive emotional resource

and is not a replacement for professional

therapy, medical care, or clinical treatment.

If a child or teen requires individualize

therapeutic or medical support, please consult a

qualified professional.
