The 4 simple strategies inside

Easy swaps your child can learn fast — and you can prompt in the moment.

Tongue rub to the palate

A calming “tongue-up” reset to replace lip-chewing and sucking.

An appropriate chew

A safe, structured option when the urge to bite or chew shows up.

Blow imaginary bubbles

A playful breathing swap that helps slow things down and refocus.

Hum & smile

A gentle, confidence-boosting cue that supports calm and composure.

How to use the guide

  1. Read together at a calm time (not mid-meltdown).
  2. Pick one habit to practise first (1–2 minutes).
  3. Use during big feelings with a quiet cue: “bubbles?” “hum & smile?”
  4. Reflect at bedtime: “What helped your mouth today?” Set a tiny goal for tomorrow.
