While I Wait
A gentle story + regulation cards for ADHD and autistic children who feel time stretch thin, and need quiet ways to stay grounded.
This $2 bundle includes “While I Wait”, a 19-page neurodiversity-affirming story about the honest experience of waiting without shame, and “Quiet Anchors”, 13 printable cards that turn everyday objects (a rock, a leaf, a tracing line) into silent companions for dysregulated moments.
No quizzes. No performance. No “calm down” demands. Just two tools to say: Your nervous system is valid. Your rhythm matters.
“Resting in the middle of a line is its own kind of courage.”
Created for caregivers who know: true regulation isn’t taught, it’s co-created through patience, presence, and pressure-free space.
For Who Is This?
- Parents of ADHD/autistic children who melt down during transitions, appointments, or “just wait” moments.
- Therapists & OTs seeking non-verbal, body-based tools that honor autonomy over compliance.
- Inclusive educators building classroom calm-down kits that don’t require talking, eye contact, or finishing tasks.
For less than the cost of a pencil, give your child a quiet companion for life’s long pauses, and yourself a reminder: you’re already doing enough.
You’ll get a 19-page neurodiversity-affirming story (“While I Wait”) and 13 printable regulation cards (“Quiet Anchors”), gentle, no-pressure tools to help ADHD and autistic children navigate waiting, overwhelm, and big feelings with dignity and calm.
