Welcome to Cups of Calm and More -The home of effective, innovative and award-winning resources for children's social and emotional development and wellbeing.
💙
Thanks for dropping in - I'm Mitch, a former teacher, with a passion for designing engaging resources that equip children with the confidence, tools and knowledge they need to express and manage their feelings and emotions...and help to restore calm.

All about my resources ...
From my long career working with children, I know that they learn new information best when their senses are stimulated, they can physically handle the information and it is presented in a clear, captivating and concise format. These are the key factors behind my designs . Read on ! ...

I am passionate that my resources are 3-dimensional, sensorially engaging, hands-on and interactive ... to ensure that the new information is absorbed as enjoyably and memorably as possible.

My resources offer clear, concise information to
avoid information overload
as well as ensuring the
advice is as memorable
and as manageable as possible.

I aim to turn the abstract and invisible concept of feelings and emotions into a logical , concrete experience.
My resources are also excellent communication aids and rich in emotional awareness and literacy skills.

All information used is
well-researched and offers science-backed,
evidence-based theories
and strategies.
They are used and highly approved by
teachers, SENCOs and Play Therapists.

My mission is to equip children with effective tools and strategies to manage their emotions and learn effective and positive self-regulation skills..
They also equip parents and teachers with effective and valuable teaching aids to support their children through life's challenges.

Many of my resources come with lesson plans and guidance and are ready-to-use with no prep required.
Ideal for homes, schools, 1-1, PSHE lessons, Circle Time, Calm Corners, Nurture, Thrive and After School Groups.
