Frequently Bought Together
Equip children with the tools they need to navigate big emotions. Mind Brain Emotion: 52 Essential Coping Skills is a specialized therapeutic resource designed to support NDIS participants aged 5–14 with emotional regulation, anxiety, and executive function challenges.
Developed by Harvard educator Dr. Jenny Woo, this deck translates complex Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness concepts into 52 bite-sized, playful activities. It serves as a practical toolkit for "in the moment" stress management, helping children move from dysregulation to calm without feeling like they are in a therapy session.
How This Device Supports NDIS Participants
Building Emotional Regulation: The cards provide actionable strategies for managing anger, anxiety, and stress. By practicing these skills during calm moments, participants build the neural pathways required to self-soothe during meltdowns or high-stress situations.
Enhancing Executive Function: Many activities focus on "stopping and thinking," impulse control, and problem-solving. This directly supports participants with ADHD or Autism who may struggle with the executive control required to pause before reacting.
Facilitating Communication: For children who struggle to articulate their feelings (alexithymia), these cards provide a structured, non-threatening way to discuss emotions using scenarios and prompts, bridging the communication gap with parents or carers.
Versatile Therapy Aid: Ideal for use in psychology sessions, school "calm down corners," or as part of a home-based capacity building program to reinforce therapy goals between appointments.
