Helping Children Start BIG School Calm, Confident and Ready
A beautifully designed printable Ready for BIG School Calm Kit for ages 3–5 to support emotional wellbeing and early years school transition — with meditations, breathing tools, mindset rituals, and more.
4 BIG Challenges Starting School Brings:
Separation Anxiety - leaving familiar caregivers and environments can trigger fear or resistance.
Communication Struggles - Younger children may not yet have the language to express emotions like worry or overwhelm.
Coping with New Routines: Adapting to structured school days, unfamiliar adults, and group settings can feel intense.
Emotional Fatigue: The mix of excitement, fear, and sensory input can lead to emotional meltdowns or withdrawal.

That's why we created this kit. The Ready for BIG School Calm Kit helps your child / children in your care build their calm superpowers - through playful, practical activities designed to support their emotions and boost confidence.
