Download it now and give them concrete reference points to find their calm every day.

Creative tools to soothe an anxious mind

An anxious child doesn't choose to worry — they simply don't yet have the tools to channel what they're feeling. Built around an art therapy approach, this ebook offers gentle, accessible activities to help them release tension in ways other than words, which can sometimes fail them in the face of anxiety.

Through drawing, guided breathing, and simple sensory exercises, the child learns to recognize the signs of their anxiety before it overwhelms them, and to use creativity as a space for release and safety. Each activity can be repeated as many times as needed, becoming a stable reference point in difficult moments.

Part of the child's well-being also comes from this ability to calm themselves on their own, with simple gestures they can use outside the workbook, at school as well as at home.

What's inside this ebook, and who is it for?

Calm and Creative is a 10-page resource featuring a variety of emotional regulation tools: illustrated breathing exercises, soothing drawing activities, spaces to name their fears, and small creative rituals to repeat during moments of stress.

This workbook is designed for children prone to anxiety, frequent worries, or difficulty falling asleep, as well as for parents, teachers, and art therapists looking for simple creative tools to use every day. No prior artistic skill is needed — only consistency matters.

By using this workbook, the child gradually learns to identify their anxiety signals, to express them without being overwhelmed, and to find a state of calm through gestures they can make their own for the long term.

Art therapist's tip 🎨

As an art therapist, I find that anxious children often need concrete gestures rather than explanations. This workbook isn't meant to make anxiety disappear, but to give your child tools they can use whenever they feel the need.

Offer the activities at a calm moment, with no particular expectation, and let your child revisit them in their own way when worry sets in. With repetition, these tools will become genuine, reassuring reflexes.
