About Good Grounding
Good Grounding is a website created to assist parents and carers in guiding children to develop healthy coping strategies for strong emotions using grounding techniques.
Designed to be intuitive and easy to use, the site can be used during times of high stress — such as a meltdown — but ideally practiced when the child is calm.
Good Grounding is and always will be free and accessible to all.

Credits
Good Grounding was created by Iona Stenhouse, an experienced after-school program coordinator and Adam J Bragg, a designer and developer.
Iona initially conceived the idea while working at an after school centre in Vancouver, BC, wanting a visual way to show children the grounding techniques she was trying to teach them.
Fast forward a year and after seeing news reports of children struggling with the stress of big life changes due to covid-19, such as homeschooling and social isolation, Adam and Iona decided it was time to bring the website to life.
