Calm-down Time (Toddler Tools) (Toddler Tools® Board Books)

Really well written to help you with a toddler who finds it hard to calm down.Engaging and fun way for them to learn how they can calm themselves down.

This book has really helped my 3 year old boy. He used to hit me when he got frustrated but now he thinks and calms himself down and doesn’t hit anymore. This book is great. The pictures are great for toddlers and we practice the calm breathing together.

The media could not be loaded. This is a nice book that's simple to read for smaller kids. It's small in size it can easily fit in a back if you go somewhere and it's hardcover so little kids can read it and not rip it. There are a lot more books in this collection I got a few for my 4 year old

I bought this for my 19 month old who has started having tantrums sometimes. He's too young to understand it properly yet, but the tips at the back for parents are useful and he enjoys flicking through it looking at the pictures. As he gets a bit older I feel that the idea of doing a breathing exercise to calm down should be simple to understand, as well as the idea of talking about a problem or asking for a hug. Overall I'm pleased with this book and I think it will be a really helpful tool for my toddler in the future.

My daughter really enjoys this - it’s nice to read, rhymes in parts and the pictures convey frustration / solution well. “Breathe -1-2-3 I’m taking care of me” - it’s a nice mantra to remember.

I work with young autistic children who often find it difficult to calm down once they are angry, distressed or upset. We read this book each day and remind them of the strategies the book contains. The simplicity of the book supports the childrens understanding.

Great book to encourage discussion around feelings and how to calm down. The words are easy for a toddler to understand, however the illustrations aren’t great and don’t really engage my son.

My son (almost 3) has really taken to this book and it’s a good way to teach him tools to calm himself. I love the repeated phrase “1,2,3 I’m taking care of me.” He’s started using that on his own!
