Big feelings have no age limit
Calmlings is drawn for children aged 3 to 12, but anyone can do the calm moves on the cards. Here are eight to try right now, wherever you are.
Eight calm moves for any age
Each one comes from a Calmlings card.
Big slow breath
Smell the flower, blow out the candle.
Spot five things
Name five things you see and four you can hear.
Wall push
Push the wall hard, then let go slowly.
Butterfly hug
Cross your arms and tap, tap, tap slowly.
Finger breathing
Trace your fingers, breathe in and out.
Three good things
Name three good things about today.
Eyebrow lift
Lift your eyebrows, then relax.
Warm hands
Rub your hands fast, then hold them still.
Big siblings can run the game
Older kids make great Tamers for a little brother or sister: read the Wobble together, offer a couple of Calmlings, and stamp the Tamed! seal when they get through it.
Would you like a set made for older players?
We’re thinking about a Calmlings set for older kids, teens and adults: new Wobbles like exams, speaking up and a busy mind at night, with a cleaner look. Leave your email and we’ll tell you if we make it.
For adults 18 and over. Unsubscribe any time.
Calmlings cards are educational tools, not therapy or medical advice. Every child is different, so use the cards in whatever way works, alongside the doctors, therapists and teachers who know them. If big feelings are getting in the way of everyday life, talk to someone you trust or a doctor. In Australia, Kids Helpline (1800 55 1800) is free for young people aged 5 to 25, any time.
