Training Video • Interactive Brain Board • Supporting Workbook
Only £35
Emotional regulation is about helping children understand what's happening in their brain and body, recognise when they're moving out of their "thinking brain", and learn practical ways to find their way back.
If your child experiences emotional outbursts, shuts down, becomes overwhelmed, or says things they don't really mean when emotions run high, this resource will help you make sense of what's happening and give you practical tools to support them.
This isn't just another printable resource. The accompanying training video talks you through every stage of the emotional regulation cycle, showing you exactly how to use the Brain Board and supporting booklet so you can confidently use them with your child. Designed by specialist teacher, dyslexia assessor and ADHD coach Charlotte MacDougall (MA), this interactive pack takes a neuro-affirming approach that works with the brain rather than against it.
This pack is for you if your child...
Has big emotional reactions that seem to come out of nowhere.
Finds it difficult to explain how they're feeling.
Becomes overwhelmed by school, friendships or everyday demands.
Struggles to recognise when they're becoming dysregulated.
Finds it hard to use strategies in the moment.
Leaves you wondering how best to help.
Inside you'll receive:
Parent Training Video - A practical training session explaining:
What emotional regulation really is.
Why neurodivergent young people often experience emotions so intensely.
The role of the nervous system.
Why traditional behaviour approaches often don't work.
How to support regulation without increasing shame.
Interactive Brain Board - A visual tool that helps young people:
Recognise where they are emotionally.
Understand what's happening inside their brain.
Build emotional awareness.
Develop a shared language with trusted adults.
Practise noticing patterns before emotions become overwhelming.
Brain Board Workbook - Designed to work alongside the Brain Board, the workbook helps young people:
Reflect on their own regulation patterns.
Identify personal triggers.
Recognise early warning signs.
Explore strategies that genuinely work for them.
Build confidence in understanding how their own brain works.
Why this approach is different
Many emotional regulation resources focus on managing behaviour.
This one focuses on understanding.
When young people understand why their brain responds the way it does, shame begins to reduce. That understanding creates the foundation for developing self-awareness, confidence and practical strategies that actually feel achievable.
Rather than expecting children to simply "calm down", this resource helps them recognise what their brain needs and gives parents a framework for supporting them with curiosity and compassion.
Suitable for
This resource has been designed primarily for neurodivergent tweens and teenagers (approximately ages 11–16), including young people with ADHD, autism, dyslexia or other differences in learning and processing.
Many of the ideas are equally valuable for young people who experience anxiety, emotional overwhelm or low self-confidence.
You'll walk away with...
✔ A clearer understanding of emotional regulation.
✔ Greater confidence supporting your child through difficult moments.
✔ An interactive tool your young person can return to again and again.
✔ A shared language that reduces conflict and builds understanding.
✔ Practical strategies you can start using immediately.

For over 15 years I've worked alongside children, families and schools, helping them understand neurodivergent minds with greater clarity and confidence.
Everything inside this pack has been designed to help families move away from asking "What's wrong?" and towards understanding "What does this young person need right now?"
