Back Pocket Choice Menu – Printable Template for Parents

£0.00

The Back Pocket Choice Menu is here to help.

This printable template gives you a quick and easy way to jot down the movement and calming strategies your child already enjoys. Keep it on the fridge, in a notebook, or tucked away in your bag — so when emotions run high, you don’t have to think on the spot.

✨ Why it works:

  • Older kids crave agency — even when overwhelmed.

  • Offering choices (instead of instructions) helps them feel safe and in control.

  • Having a ready-to-go list takes the pressure off you in the heat of the moment.
