A playful seven-week journey to help children and parents understand big feelings and discover what helps them find their way back to calm.

Pause & Play is a live online course for children aged 6–9 and a parent or caregiver to enjoy together. Through stories, games, creative activities and calming exercises, you’ll build a shared emotional language and discover practical tools you can use in everyday family life.

Each week, we’ll explore a new idea together and give you opportunities to play, practise and experiment at home.

Your Pause & Play Kit

Every family receives a special Pause & Play Kit to bring the course to life at home. It includes Chit-Chat, the Talking Hat, creative activities, calming tools and a new surprise to discover each week.

Grounded in research, made for real families

Pause & Play brings together in-depth research into emotional regulation, my experience as a researcher with a PhD in Research Psychology, and lessons learned from my own family and Calm Club workshops.

The aim is simple: to turn what research and real family life teach us into playful, practical tools that children and parents can actually use.
