When My Body Moves Too Fast

Description

A Calm-Down Story for Kids Learning Safe Body Choices

Sometimes a child’s body seems to start moving before their brain has had time to catch up. This story helps children recognise those high-energy moments when running, grabbing, crashing or jumping can become unsafe. Rather than focusing on punishment, it teaches children to notice their body signals and practise slowing themselves down.

Through the story, children can practise:

• Recognising when their body feels overly energised
• Pausing before acting
• Making safer body choices
• Using movement appropriately
• Listening to body signals
• Regaining control after becoming overstimulated

Ideal for

Helping children build body awareness, impulse control, and safer ways to manage bursts of energy.

Big feelings don’t always need big solutions. Sometimes they just need little tools.
