Safe, Seen, and Supported: A Parent Toolkit for Big Emotions - Print + Interactive Companion
This 40-page toolkit helps parents support children and teenagers through moments of intense emotion — with calm, clarity, and connection, not just strategies for stopping the behaviour.
Rather than focusing only on managing difficult moments, this resource helps you understand what's underneath emotional reactions, and gives you practical tools to support regulation, safety, and learning — for the moment itself, and for the days that follow it.
Grounded in behavioural science, trauma-informed practice, and compassionate parenting approaches, everything inside is designed to be used immediately at home, no training required.
What makes this different: every worksheet in the toolkit also exists as a free-to-use interactive tool. Fill it in on your phone or computer instead of printing it, and it saves automatically as you go — so you can build your family's own scripts, trackers, and plans without a single page in the printer.
Inside the toolkit, you'll find:
- The Safe, Seen, and Supported guide, in five parts: Understanding Big Emotions, Prevention, Safety, Recovery, and Teaching
- Practical strategies for prevention, co-regulation, and staying safe in intense moments
- Reflection tools to help you stay calm and notice progress
- 11 printable templates to plan and practise new skills together
- Full access to the interactive companion — the same 9 core tools online, autosaving as you use them
11 printable tools included:
- Early Emotional Cue Tracker
- Parent Self-Regulation Plan
- Calm Connection Script Builder
- Daily Predictability Planner
- Choice Bank for Reducing Power Struggles
- Meltdown Safety Plan
- Calm Voice Phrase Bank
- Repair and Reconnection Planner
- Coping Skill Practice Tracker
- Micro-Challenge Planner
- Parent Reflection Page
The toolkit is print-friendly and mostly black-and-white, so it's easy to print at home and keep on hand — or skip printing altogether and use the interactive companion instead. Either way, you'll always have it when you need it.
