Steady Through the Season: A Holiday CALM Mini-Kit
The holidays can be beautiful and loud at the very same time. This free printable mini-kit brings CALM into the season, so you and your little ones can find your footing together.
Inside you'll find:
- The four CALM steps, each with a simple holiday version
- Four everyday holiday moments walked through step by step, from a meltdown at a crowded gathering to a season that feels heavier than the last
- Two cut-out calm-down cards for kids
- A "My Feeling Thermometer" coloring page
- A quiet reflection page, just for you
Print what helps and skip what doesn't. Not perfection. Presence.
For parents and caregivers of little ones who want a steadier, gentler holiday season.
When you're ready for more, the full practice lives in my CALM Parenting Workbook and CALM Kids Workbook. 💜
Care note: This kit is general education for everyday holiday stress. It isn't therapy, counseling, or medical care, and it doesn't replace care from your own doctor or a licensed professional. If things feel like more than everyday stress, in the US you can call or text 988, or chat at 988lifeline.org, to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911.
