Nina’s Coping Toolbox: A 10-Week e-Learning Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Curriculum
For children ages 3–12
Empowering children and the parents, educators, and providers who support them with emotional wellness, coping tools, and lifelong resilience skills.
🌱 A joyful learning journey that teaches children emotional awareness, self-regulation, coping tools, and
healthy communication.
🌿 Trauma-informed approach that supports emotional safety, confidence, and calm learning environments.
"Trauma-informed" means children learn in a way that protects their emotional safety and helps them feel
calm and supported.
💛 Easy for families, classrooms, therapists, and community programs to teach with no extra training
required.
🏫 Perfect for homes, schools, daycares, after school programs, group homes, and foster care settings.
🏡 Families wanting a calm and connected home.
🌬️ Children experiencing stress, anxiety, or big transitions.
💛 Rooted in Purpose
Twenty five percent of proceeds support Healing the Roots Foundation, expanding free access to SEL
tools for children and families in need.
Building Skills That Last a Lifetime
Our 10-week SEL curriculum helps children build resilience, manage emotions, and develop healthy coping tools through engaging stories, activities, and mindfulness practices.
For the best results, Nina’s Coping Toolbox is recommended twice a year, in the fall and spring, allowing children to revisit lessons, strengthen their coping strategies and self-regulation skills, and build lasting resilience over time.
