In this video I’m walking you through a simple but really helpful tool for our homeschool days: a calm down kit. If you’ve got kids who feel big emotions (and if you homeschool, you know those moments can pop up right in the middle of math), having a dedicated kit gives them a predictable way to pause, reset, and come back to learning. I share what a calm down kit is, why it’s worth having, and how I keep mine ready to grab when we need it. I also show what I actually keep inside my kit—things like sensory supports (fidgets, calming strips, chewables, weighted options), practical tools (a timer), and resources that help kids regulate and refocus. And because I’m a homeschool mom who wants more than just “calm,” I include biblical encouragement too—truth cards, coloring, and books that point their hearts back to what’s true. My goal is to make this feel doable and flexible: you can use any bag you have, start small, and build a kit that fits your child and your home.
