BOUNCE Approach®
Emotional Literacy Intervention
12 Fully-Planned Sessions
Helping children understand emotions, behaviour, and themselves.
Helping children make sense of their emotions, behaviour, and experiences through twelve fully planned emotional literacy sessions.
The BOUNCE Approach® works alongside Thrive, ELSA, and Nurture – not instead of them. Built for anyone working with children who wants to get it right – without specialist SEMH training. With resources, impact Snapshots, training, live support, and ongoing portal access included, you’ll have everything you need to deliver the intervention with confidence.
A glimpse of Session 1 materials. The full programme includes 12 sessions of resources.
You Know this Child
You just need something that works
The one who shuts down
Refuses tasks, goes silent, disappears into themselves. Not being difficult — their nervous system is overwhelmed and they have no words for it yet.
The one who explodes
Zero to ten in seconds, and they can’t tell you why. By the time it’s happened, it’s already too late for strategies.
The one who carries a lot
Anxious, avoidant, or always braced for something. Maybe they’ve been through things. Maybe nobody knows the half of it.

Designed for 1:1 and small-group intervention with children who need additional support understanding emotions, behaviour, and regulation.
Simple to Deliver
You don't need to be a specialist - you just need to show up
Every session has a step-by-step plan, practitioner scripts, and a clear structure – starter, activity, close. Run it in 20 minutes or 45. Spread it across a term or a year.
You’ll know what you’re doing before you walk in the room, and you’ll know what to do if it doesn’t go to plan .If you work with children and care about getting it right, you can deliver the BOUNCE® Emotional Literacy Intervention.
Everything Ready
Nothing to piece together
Open it, read the session plan, print off the resources, select the slides, and go. The programme is complete – you won’t need to source additional materials or design your own assessment tools.

My Check-In sheets
A simple colour scale and 0–10 intensity rating completed at the start and end of every session. Children record body clues, what helped, and a reflection. Takes 3 minutes — and gives you real evidence of progress.

BOUNCE® Snapshots
