Behaviour doesn't happen in isolation - it often reflects the energy available to a person's nervous system.
The Understanding Your Energy Battery Mini Toolkit introduces children, families and professionals to the concept of energy accounting in a simple, visual and neuroaffirming way.
Using engaging activities, visual supports and an easy-to-understand parent guide, this resource helps children recognise when their "battery" is running low, identify what drains their energy, discover what helps them recharge, and communicate their needs before reaching overwhelm.
Perfect for home, school or therapy, this toolkit creates a shared language that supports connection, self-advocacy and regulation.
