For gentle regulation, emotional safety, and kid-friendly grounding.

The SLP Little Grounders Kit™ is a trauma-informed collection of sensory tools designed to help children return to their body when emotions feel too big.

Every item was intentionally selected to support the Silent Love Protocol’s Safety Pause method — a child-friendly way to interrupt the “uh-oh, something feels scary!” signal and guide kids back toward calm.

Will This Help Me If…

This kit is great for your child if they:

• struggle with big feelings, tantrums, or emotional overload

• shut down, spiral, or become overstimulated easily

• need sensory tools that calm their body and help them return to safety

• benefit from movement-based regulation (spinners, play-doh, bubbles)

• need gentle coping tools they can understand, use, and repeat
