The window of tolerance refers to the ‘optimal zone’ in which a person can function effectively, feeling grounded and able to cope with stress. When outside this window, individuals may experience hyperarousal (anxiety, panic, anger) or hypoarousal (numbness, shutdown, disconnection). This tool presents the window of tolerance in a fun and engeging way for kids using 'Timmy the Turtle'. The PDF offers guided prompts (worksheets and a game) to help kids identify triggers, recognize signs, and reflect on helpful coping strategies.
