“Do you have buzzing bees? What helps when you feel overwhelmed, or when the world is too bright, too loud, too demanding or oh so scratchy?”
This question comes from the book The Buzzing Bees in My Brain. Written from the lived experience perspective of a neurodivergent child, the book helps children recognise and explore the feelings associated with sensory and emotional overwhelm.
In many ways, this book helped shape the Regulation: Discovering Your Calm Program.
Our program aims to help children identify how their brains and bodies feel when they’re regulated or dysregulated.
Whether they feel buzzy, fuzzy, fizzy or something entirely different, the program can help children understand how dysregulation feels, in a way that makes sense to them.
Through video guidance and playful exploration of regulation strategies and tools, children are invited to explore and discover the regulation strategies that work best for them. The tools and strategies that are included with the program stimulate a range of different senses, so children can really experiment with a wide range of regulation practices.
This program invites children to take the lead in exploring their needs and preferences. It also supports them to share those discoveries with their families and caregivers so they can be well supported in a variety of settings.
We know that regulation is absolutely critical to learning, to wellbeing, to focusing and for returning to calm. And so it follows that helping children regulate is one of the most powerful ways we can support our children, and set them up for success.
PLEASE NOTE: The essential components of the toolbox generally don’t change over time unless we are making improvements to the overall program. The specific tools included may differ at times in terms of brand, colour and other cosmetic differences due to sourcing factors out of our control. This will not affect the therapeutic benefits of the program as intended for the participant. We recommend that you only order one program per participant to ensure the appropriate use of funds. We cannot tailor toolboxes or programs to suit specific requests at this time. If you order a program for multiple participants they will receive the same program and toolbox. All shop listing images are representative of the program theme and not necessarily literal representations of what’s in the toolbox.

Calming effect and stress reduction: The program provides high quality tools to help reduce anxiety and stress, and helps children identify what works for them to feel regulated.
Improved focus and attention: By helping to build emotional regulation skills, the program can help children channel excess energy and support focus.

What are the goals?
✓ To increase the emotional regulation tools and strategies available to children when they are in the community, at school, at home, or in an unfamiliar environment.
✓ To increase the initiation of self-care and self-soothing practices by children, particularly when parents or caregivers are not around to assist.
✓ To increase the child’s ability to recognise their triggers and offer means to regulate their emotions.
✓ To improve the child’s emotional wellbeing by letting them know that they are not alone with big feelings.

What skills will we build?
The Regulation: Discovering Your Calm Program helps build:
Emotional Regulation Skills by helping children identify the moments and experiences that trigger or challenge them emotionally. They’re supported to express these feelings and discoveries to their family and caregivers. They’re also supported to test different strategies as they’re facing strong emotions, to return them to a state of calm.
Self Care Skills are built in this program through a range of means. Children are guided through understanding their own needs and preferences as they explore a range of different tools and strategies. And they’re encouraged to reflect on different self-care practices to see what they find most effective and enjoyable.
Sensory Regulation Skills are strengthened in this program as children explore how different sensory stimuli make them feel. They’re encouraged to consider how sensory factors impact their wellbeing and explore their own sensory preferences and needs. They’re also supported to communicate these needs with caregivers, so they can be supported as best as possible in a range of settings.
Optional Individual Therapy Consult
When purchasing this program, you have the option to enhance your child’s therapeutic journey with an individual therapy consult. Choose from an AHA Consult, OT Consult, Speech Consult, or Request a Standard Assessment & Report. These personalised consultations provide you with the opportunity to connect with our team of experienced Allied Health Assistants, Occupational Therapists, or Speech Therapists. During the consult, you can discuss your child’s unique needs, receive expert guidance, and tailor the program to ensure the best possible outcomes for your child.
This is not compulsory, if selected our admin team will contact you to arrange an appointment time. All consults will be invoiced separately.
