what's included
storage on the go
Keep your webe kälm clean and protected by removing the indicator from the breathe tube, placing them in the storage bag, and securing the cords. This allows you to easily carry your webe kälm in a school bag, purse, glove box, or stored in the junk drawer.
"webe in this together" bracelets
Comes with 1 x Child and 1 x L/XL
The most pivotal moment for fostering a strong bond between kids and parents is when they work together. Each webe kälm set contains a child-sized and adult-sized bracelet. These bracelets serve as a constant reminder to find a more constructive approach during moments of frustration.
breathe tube
The ergonomically designed breathe tube enables restful lips to breathe effortlessly into the webe kälm. Insert the indicaot into the breathe tube to observe the visual effects of slow exhalation and listen to the soothing white noise. For a more discreet experience, the Indicator can be used optionally.
indicator
When the correct level of air pressure is blown into the breathing tube, the ball will rise in the indicator. It will remain airborne for as long as you exhale, allowing for visual concentration on the elevated ball.
a tool to help adults and children of all ages connect

even adults need kälm
webe kälm is most effective when an adult guides a child in using it. You can count and practice breathing with your child or use your own webe, but by breathing in slowly, then exhaling while counting for a child, you not only help them learn how to calm themselves, but you also find your own kälm.
This approach ensures that both you and the child will be in a balanced state for the upcoming conversation.

how does webe kälm work?
There is substantial data highlighting three pathways that stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system to generate a sense of inner peace and calm. They are controlled breathing with extended exhalation, visual focus, and auditory regulation.
webe kälm creates a simple method for children to engage all three pathways simultaneously. First, an immediate soothing effect is experienced through slow extended exhalation into the mouthpiece. Next, visual focus on keeping the ball aloft generates mindfulness. Finally, with each exhalation, “white noise” is created in the chamber, reminiscent of natural sounds that trigger neural connections created during fetal development. This cumulative approach helps children connect to their minds and bodies, while filtering outside distractions.

how do I introduce webe kälm to a child or young adult?
Introduction to a wee little one (3-8)
Introduce the webe kälm with positive language to avoid stimulating shame in “needing” it:
"I came across this wonderful tool that can help us communicate and support each other when we're feeling upset. I thought it would be great for us to explore together."
This approach lays the groundwork for adults to introduce webe kälm during a child's emotional outburst effectively.
Introduction to a tween (9-12)
Introduce the webekalm with positive language to avoid stimulating shame in “needing” it. Try something like this:
"I've noticed you've been feeling really stressed lately, and I want you to know that I'm here to listen and support you. Is there anything specific that's been bothering you, or would you like to talk about what's been on your mind? If it helps, I heard from some friends about a tool that helps us both find balance so we can connect together in a meaningful way."
This approach conveys your willingness to be a caring and nonjudgmental presence in their life, encouraging open communication and providing them with a safe space to express their feelings.
Introduction to a teen (13+)

what are the best ways to get my child to use webe kälm?
Once they're comfortable with webe kälm, occasional gentle reminders can be effective when you notice they're feeling overwhelmed. You might say,
"I can see this is really troubling you. I genuinely want to understand, but I'm having trouble following because of the strong emotions. How about we use Webe Kälm to have a more organized conversation where we can better understand each other?"
Over time, they will appreciate the benefits of approaching discussions with a calm mindset and may choose to use webe kälm or its techniques to help themselves stay calm.
Can I use webe kälm reactively?
In truth, this is why most parents are trying it. We all recognize the moments when our children are out of balance and want to teach them how to kälm.
Reactive use involves responding to the immediate challenges and dysregulation in the moment, akin to addressing a headache with Tylenol when the pain is already present. While using the webe kalm reactively can offer relief in the moment, it's comparable to addressing symptoms rather than preventing future "headaches." Like keeping Tylenol on hand for potential discomfort, we want the webe kalm available not only when we're in distress but also for proactive use.
Read our FAQ to learn how to proactively use webe kälm as well.
Can I use webe kälm proactively?
YES!!
Proactive use involves employing strategies to prevent or minimize issues before they arise. In the context of promoting calmness, it's like giving your nervous system a soothing "massage" through practices such as slow exhalation, focused attention, and auditory regulation. Similar to nourishing your body with nutrients, using the webe kalm regularly throughout the day is like providing calming messages to build a foundation of calmness. Just as you don't wait until you're starving to eat, using the webe kalm proactively—such as upon waking, before meals, and before bedtime—helps create a familiar sense of calm.
This proactive approach not only tunes the nervous system to a state of comfort but also establishes muscle memory for easier return to calmness when needed. It's an investment in your calm "savings account," ensuring a reserve of calmness ready for withdrawal whenever necessary.
how can I get the best results for my child?
wee (3-8)
This is a collaborative approach. As we are aware, practices like controlled breathing, focused attention, and the use of white noise can help calm the mind. Think of it as a new skill – just like how you didn't learn to write perfectly the first time you picked up a pencil, your child won't immediately master the art of using the webe kälm tool on their own.
The initial step involves taking slow breaths through the nose to fill the lungs. It will require consistent reminders from adults. However, with time, children will begin to recognize the benefits and may even remind you to use the webe kälm when you're feeling upset
tween (9-12)
This is a collaborative approach. We all know by now breathing, focusing and white noise help to sooth the mind. It is a new tool. You did not learn to write the first time you picked up a pencil. A tween will not learn how to effectively use the webe kälm without your help.
The first step of breathing slowly in through the nose to fill the lungs. It will take many reminders from adults. Over time though a tween will learn to trust the results and eventually will remind you to use your webe kälm when you are upset!
