CALM IN MY BODY™
Helping Children Understand Tics, Worries, Big Feelings, Sensory Sensitivities, and Stress
Child-Friendly Education • Caregiver Support • Guided Relaxation • Nervous System Regulation
Is your child struggling with tics, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, sensory sensitivities, or stress-related challenges?
Does your child experience:
- Tics that feel confusing, frustrating, or embarrassing?
- Worries that are hard to calm?
- Big feelings that seem to take over?
- Sensory sensitivities or sensory overload?
- Stress-related challenges at home, school, or in daily life?
- Difficulty recognizing what their body is trying to tell them?
- A need for practical calming tools they can use again and again?
If so, your child is not alone.
Children can feel scared, ashamed, or overwhelmed when they do not understand what is happening in their brain and body. Caregivers may also feel unsure about how to respond, especially when stress, tics, worries, or sensory sensitivities show up in everyday life.
The Calm in My Body™ Family Support Package was created to help children and caregivers build understanding, confidence, and practical regulation skills together.
A Home-Based Family Support Package
This unique program combines child-friendly education, caregiver guidance, and therapeutic audio recordings to support calm, confidence, and resilience.
The package is designed to help families better understand:
- What tics are and why they happen
- How stress affects the body
- How worries and anxiety can show up physically
- How to recognize feelings and body signals
- How sensory overload can affect behaviour and emotions
- How caregivers can support regulation with confidence
Families can use the materials together in the comfort of their own home, at a pace that feels supportive and manageable.
