Children thrive when they learn to calm their bodies and focus their minds. The M.Y. Time Activity Card Deck makes mindfulness and movement easy to share, helping kids, ages 5-12 build emotional awareness and self-regulation through simple, joyful activities.

Children Struggle to Stay Regulated

Increasing numbers of children are experiencing big emotions, and managing them can be overwhelming. This profoundly affects learning and navigating daily life. Signs of stress, distraction, and emotional overwhelm can derail learning, strain relationships, and leave both students and adults feeling frustrated and drained.

Without structured tools to help children calm their bodies and focus their minds, educators are left trying to manage behavior instead of fostering growth. What’s missing is a simple, consistent way to nurture self-regulation, attention, and emotional balance—skills essential for learning and lifelong well-being.

The M.Y. Time Activity Card Deck

The M.Y. Time Activity Card Deck transforms the proven M.Y. Time Program into a hands-on, flexible resource for classrooms, counseling sessions, and homes. The 74 durable, jumbo-sized cards contain 134 activities to be explored. Each offers easy ways to help children regulate their emotions through mindful movement and focused breathing.

Activities include settling-in and breath work, creative movement, children’s yoga poses, and social-emotional learning activities that encourage empathy and connection. The deck builds executive functioning skills—self-control, working memory, and organization—while creating moments of calm and joy throughout the day.
