Printable flashcards that give you the exact words to use with a child in a hard moment, aligned to CASEL 5 and EYLF Outcome 3.

There is a moment most educators know well. A child is struggling, the room is watching, and the right words go missing. These 26 cards hand you the phrase before that happens.

Each card carries language you can use on the floor straight away: co-regulation, big feelings, behaviour support, child-safe wording, conflict resolution. Print a set, laminate it, keep it in your pocket.
