Big energy, big feelings? The calm-down path is a game that practises calming down, from big and loud to small and quiet. Start at “Big feeling!” and hop along together: 1. Stomp 5 times like a dinosaur 2. Shake out like a wet puppy 3. Push the wall away, hard! 4. Squeeze 2 lemons, then drop them 5. Blow out 5 birthday candles 6. Smell a flower, slowly 7. Hug your teddy tight 8. Find 3 blue things 9. Wiggle all 10 toes 10. Whisper your name Then: ready to play. Best from about age 3. Try it first on a calm day, so it feels familiar when feelings get big. Stop wherever feels right.
