Each self-correcting puzzle is made up of 2 captioned pictures—one depicting an everyday scenario children may encounter and the other showing a positive outcome.

4. Calm Down Kit: This kit consists of different items to help your child calm down: a mindful breathing board, a calming tube, sensory viewer, and calm down cubes.

8. Conversation Cards: How Was Your Day?:These cards help children and parents navigate social situations about going back to school, prepping for school for the first time, or starting a new school.

These cards help children to recognize emotional dynamics in going back to school, while sparking important conversations about their own experiences and how they are feeling.
9. Conversation Cards: What Do I Do?: These cards are a wonderful tool for anyone who wants to gain a better understanding of subverted social expectations.
