Support children's emotional well-being with the Open The Joy Calming Strategies Cards, a practical visual tool designed to teach self-regulation, mindfulness, and calming techniques through simple breathing exercises and gentle movement activities.
Created specifically for young children, these beautifully illustrated, pocket-sized cards provide easy-to-follow strategies that help children recognize overwhelming emotions and regain a sense of calm during stressful or emotionally challenging moments. Whether at home, in the classroom, daycare, or therapy sessions, these cards encourage healthy coping skills and build lifelong emotional resilience.
Each card introduces a simple calming strategy that children can use independently or with the guidance of a parent, teacher, educator, counselor, occupational therapist, or speech-language pathologist. Their compact format makes them easy to carry, store, and incorporate into daily routines, calming corners, quiet spaces, or sensory breaks.
Available in English or French, the Open The Joy Calming Strategies Cards are an excellent resource for supporting Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), mindfulness practices, emotional awareness, and positive behavior.

International Shipping Policy
USA: At this time, we do not ship to the United States. Baby products are subject to different safety regulations and compliance standards in the U.S., which may result in customs delays, refused entry, or additional liability concerns. To ensure full compliance and protect our customers, we are unable to make any exceptions to this policy.
INTERNATIONAL: International shipping rates are calculated automatically at checkout. To receive a shipping estimate, simply add an item to your cart and enter your country and postal code. If a rate does not appear in the cart, proceed to checkout where the final shipping cost will be calculated.
❗INTERNATIONAL- DUTIES: Please note that duties, taxes, and import fees may apply depending on your country. It is the buyer’s responsibility to verify any potential import charges prior to placing an order. We are not responsible for duties imposed by the destination country.
If a customer refuses to pay customs duties/taxes and the shipment is left at customs, abandoned, or refused by the customer, the order will not be eligible for reimbursement. Due to the extremely high return shipping costs associated with international shipments, which often exceed the value of the product itself, packages in these situations are typically abandoned rather than returned to us. In such cases, no refund will be issued for the order, shipping fees, or any related costs.
If you have any questions about shipping options, delivery timelines, or documentation, our team is always happy to assist before you place your order.
