Many children hold it together all day. They follow rules, meet expectations and manage feelings that feel too big to show. By the time they reach home their safest place that pressure can spill out as tears, anger, withdrawal or exhaustion.

Play therapy helps by giving children a safe, accepting space to express what they cannot yet put into words. Through play, children release built-up tension, explore emotions at their own pace and make sense of their experiences without being judged or corrected.

When a child is met with understanding rather than demands their nervous system can settle not because they are holding everything in, but because they are finally being heard.

Free THINGS I CAN SAY TO CALM MY BRAIN: POSTER FOR CHILDREN

Sometimes a child does not need fixing, explaining, or consequences. Sometimes they need words that help their body and brain slow down.

When children feel anxious, overwhelmed, or flooded with big feelings, simple calming phrases can help them feel safer and more in control. Gentle reminders like breathing slowly, pausing, or remembering that feelings pass can support emotional regulation and reduce anxiety in the moment.

This poster offers clear, child friendly calming statements that children can read, hear, or repeat when emotions feel too much. It is especially helpful for children who struggle with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, sensory stress, or behaviour that comes from feeling overloaded rather than defiant.

A small tool like this can make a big difference at home, in classrooms, or in calm corners. It helps children build coping skills, emotional awareness, and confidence in managing difficult moments, with support from the adults around them.

SECOND CHANCE SUNDAY

WHAT ARE SENSORY CIRCUITS?

Sensory circuits are short, structured sequences of movement designed to help a childโ€™s nervous system find that 'just right' level of alertness for learning, play and daily routines. They gently support the brain and body to organise sensory input, regulate emotions and improve focus.

They can be especially supportive for children who struggle with transitions, children who feel anxious about school as they start their day, neurodivergent children, and those experiencing after-school restraint collapse when the dayโ€™s demands finally catch up with them.

A sensory circuit follows a clear pattern: alerting activities to wake up the body and brain, organising activities to build focus and coordination, and calming activities to help the child feel settled and ready. The order matters. When done in sequence, sensory circuits can support regulation rather than overwhelm.

Theyโ€™re flexible, quick and practical. A circuit can take as little as 10โ€“15 minutes and can be delivered at home or at school. First thing in the morning, after lunch, before homework, or as part of an emotional regulation routine, sensory circuits fit around real life.

Theyโ€™re not about pushing children. Theyโ€™re about meeting sensory needs, building predictability, and helping children feel safe and supported in their bodies.

Our Sensory Circuits Resource Pack includes clear explanations, visual prompts and ready-to-use activities to help adults feel confident running sensory circuits with children and young people.

Carl Jung reminds us of the power of play in the following quote "The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct."

Letting children and young people play out their experiences enables them to safely express themselves. We explore how play and playfulness is so important in our Relational Play and Creative Therapy training.
