Nurture Gnomes – Calming Kit

I am a wife, mum to two adult sons (the youngest of whom is autistic).
Until recently, I have spent 24 years working in special needs education
and currently work as a parent support volunteer for our local autism
charity.

During Covid I wrote a children’s book about a little gnome who struggled
to talk about his emotions and this sparked the idea of using my skills to
create a range of resources designed to support children’s social
emotional development. These are currently being used by parents,
schools and play therapists.

In October 2022 I was lucky enough to win a small business award from
Theo Paphitis (Dragon’s Den) and this year was a finalist in the Rising Star
Category, winning a Highly Commended Award from We Are The City
(women in business).

Calming Kit 
This Calming Kit contains 15 different pebbles listing calming activities that 
will help to teach children about emotional regulation.When children have difficulty 
processing some emotions, they become overwhelmed and very often do not know how to
 cope or move forward, and this is a way to help them navigate through these emotions
 by choosing a calming technique. They are perfect for all children including neurodivergent
 children, older teens, or adults. Many with autism/ADHD sometimes have negative feelings that
 they cannot quite pinpoint, so these pebbles help in finding ways to dispel those feelings. 
They can take out one, try it, and if it doesn’t work, take another, while gradually learning
 how to self-regulate.
