When children have big reactions to small moments, it is often because their system is already overloaded.
The reaction may look sudden, but the build-up usually isn’t.
This Emp Translator Card supports adults to pause, lower demands, and reduce language when emotions escalate.
By focusing on safety and connection in the moment, rather than correction, it helps children feel seen and supported until their body is calm enough to cope again.
Created by an Educational Psychologist, this resource reinforces a simple message: regulation first, teaching later.
