A practical, culturally grounded tool to support tamariki in returning to a settled, regulated state.
The Whakatau Mauri poster draws on atua Māori to guide tamariki through different pathways of regulation, recognising that there is no one “right” way to find calm. Each section offers a simple, actionable strategy grounded in te ao Māori, supporting tamariki to move through big emotions in ways that are safe, understood, and mana-enhancing.
Rather than focusing on controlling behaviour, this resource supports a shift towards understanding mauri helping tamariki and those around them recognise what is needed in the moment and respond with intention.
What this resource supports:
Understanding emotional states through a te ao Māori lens
Offering multiple regulation pathways (movement, breath, connection, grounding)
Supporting tamariki to actively engage in their own regulation
Guiding kaimahi and whānau to respond in ways that are calm, relational, and supportive
Designed for use in classrooms, homes, and shared spaces, this poster is not just for display, it is a tool to be used in real time, alongside tamariki, as they learn to navigate their mauri.
Product details:
A4 printed poster, laminated
Clear, practical actions aligned with each atua
Suitable for everyday use across learning and home environments
