A PTSD grounding kit is a toolbox of physically tangible resources that can help someone who is experiencing a trauma response. Within the kit are objects that bring comfort, things that distract, and things that help trauma survivors ground mindfully into the safety of the present. By using this list to create a small box or tub of resources, you can make sure that your home, classroom, or workspace is a safer place for trauma survivors.

How can we grow our capacity for emotional regulation? The good news is that our current capacity for emotional regulation isn’t set for life – our brains can change and grow throughout our lifespan, and with it, our capacity to self-soothe in stressful situations can be developed at any age. Peter A. Levine states that learning to pace ourselves and recognize our own emotional capacity can help us gently begin to increase our comfort zone over time.

How do we know when to push through difficult conversations or to take a break? By checking in with ourselves and each other. Whether it’s a romantic partner, our own child, a student, a client, or a co-worker, we can all care a little better for each other by learning to recognize the cues that a person is exiting their range of emotional regulation (aka, their capacity to self-soothe/window of tolerance) and entering what mental health professionals call states of Hyperarousal or Hypoarousal.

The rainbow represents the range of emotional experiences we can tolerate – what some researchers call the Window of Tolerance. The cloud on the left represents what happens when kids/adults who tend towards shutting down are overstimulated beyond their ability to regulate. On the other end of the rainbow, a storm cloud represents what happens when kids/adults who respond to overwhelming experiences through connection-seeking expressions of big emotion.

It’s normal for parents to worry about kids as they navigate shared spaces, learning, and the social aspects of growing up. Parents typically find that information can- temporarily, at least- soothe some of their worry. A simple shift from Q & A to observing and responding to a child’s nonverbal communication can help both kids and adults relax, and create an atmosphere in which kids who are verbal processers can share more.

In 2019 researchers at Johns Hopkins University published results of the first large-scale study that sought to identify “Positive Childhood Experiences” that helped protect kids from the negative effects of traumatic experiences. The Seven Positive Childhood Experiences (PCE’s) they identified are categories of childhood/adolescent experiences that are connected to improved mental health and social connectedness in adults.

The Feeling Forecast is a coloring book page and activity designed to teach kids about the Window of Tolerance (and why sometimes everyone needs to take a break to calm-down in order to be able to listen and learn). Learning outcomes: being better listeners, growing empathy, and growing the ability to notice when they begin to feel overwhelmed.

I love how this ooey-gooey and extra-cheesy feeling wheel turned out. This pizza emotion wheel for kids is a playful take on a traditional feelings wheel, but this emotion wheel is designed with kids and adolescents in mind. While boring emotion wheels can have a clinical vibe that bores creative kids fast, this emotion wheel takes the basic concept of that old 1980’s feelings wheel resource and morphs the concept into a cute educational resource that is approachable for all ages.
