How can a safe and calming space be provided for toddlers to regulate their emotions effectively while redirecting their focus?
-
Every parent knows the dreadful feeling of a toddler throwing a tantrum along with the struggle of debating how to handle it.
With no one-size-fits-all solution, the struggle to balance discipline and empathy is constant, leading to a need for tools that help parents guide their toddlers through these moments without reinforcing negative behavior or escalating frustration.
-
Stormies Tantrum-Soothing Kits focus on providing a means to an end of the tantrum with pillars of regulation and redirection of big feelings. Following a Montessori parenting strategy of “Time-In, Time-Out,” our goal is to create a consistent environment with distraction and redirection that helps shift focus and calm toddlers more effectively. Each tantrum kit features sensory fidgets, calming tools, and emotional regulation methods that guide children not only through the height of their tantrums but also toward lasting emotional communication.

Stormies follows Montessori principles, helping children develop independence and self-regulation throughhands-on learning. Each kit fosters emotional growth with age-appropriate, child-led tools.
The Stormies Big Feelings Tantrum Kit Collection supports self-soothing, redirection, and emotional independence at every stage. Designed for little hands and big feelings, it makes emotional well-being part of daily life, and each kit is characterized by a different personification: Little Suzie, Simon and Sawyer.
