Children borrow regulation from the adults around them — which means adult overwhelm matters too.
When grown-ups feel triggered, tense, or reactive, it can be hard to support a child’s emotional needs.
This Emp Translator Card offers simple, realistic strategies to help adults reset their nervous system in the moment and return with calm, repair-focused responses.
It normalises imperfection and emphasises that coming back matters more than staying calm all the time.
Created by an Educational Psychologist, this card supports adults to model regulation, repair, and emotional safety.
