5-Minute Behaviour Resets: Summer Holiday Edition (Printable Toolkit)

5-Minute Behaviour Resets: Summer Holiday Edition (Printable Toolkit)

Summer can be joyful, and it can also be loud, hot, overstimulating, and exhausting for kids (and parents).
This simple 3-page printable offers quick, realistic 5-minute behaviour resets you can use when things start to spiral.

Designed for hot days, disrupted routines, sibling friction, and those moments when everyone’s capacity is running low.
This is not a behaviour “fix”, but a calm reset you can return to again and again.

Perfect for:

• summer holiday meltdowns

• overtired or overstimulated kids

• sensory overload

• sibling chaos

• late-afternoon grumps

• heat-triggered behaviour

Inside you’ll find:

The Reset Wheel
A visual guide to eight simple summer resets — including water, movement, connection, micro-choices, sensory downshifts, and more.

Quick Scripts & Prompts
Short, realistic phrases you can use when your own brain has left the building.

Summer-Smart Strategies
Calming ideas that actually work with heat, hunger, overstimulation, and disrupted routines.

Designed for real families, ND-affirming, and easy to use.
Print it for the fridge, keep it in your parenting binder, or tuck it into your holiday survival kit.
