Being a Noise Fighter means noticing when sound becomes too much for a child. It means understanding their reactions and knowing how to help them recover calm and comfort.
1
I understand what is happening
Noise affects a child’s wellbeing, concentration and emotions.
2
I recognise my own reaction
The child learns to notice the moment when the input becomes too much.
3
I know what I can do
They know ways to calm down, can look for a quieter place, or ask an adult for support.
Adults learn how to support the child and create conditions for rest and quiet - instead of expecting them to simply get used to the noise.
And who helps children make sense of it all?Meet Hush Hero

What the sessions look like
Learning through play, movement and experience
In the sessions children do not just listen - above all they observe, experience and practise. They learn to recognise noise, notice their own reactions, and pick up simple ways to feel calmer.
1
We recognise noise
Children learn to notice when their surroundings get too loud. They explore different sounds and discover that noise can affect wellbeing, attention and comfort.
2
We get to know our reactions
We talk about what happens to the body and to emotions when it is too loud. Children learn to name what they feel and understand their reactions better.
3
We learn to settle down
We show simple, practical ways to recover calm. Children learn quieting strategies and how to look for a more comfortable space.
What stays after the sessions
Small skills that last
The programme is not about teaching children to simply „put up with" noise. We want them to notice when it becomes too loud for them, to understand their reactions better, and to know what they can do about it.
Hush Hero leads the way
Notices when it is too loud
The child gets better at spotting situations where too much sound causes discomfort or fatigue.
Can say what they need
They learn simple ways to say that they need quiet, a short break, or a calmer place.
Understands their emotions better
They connect bodily reactions and emotions with what is happening around them.
Knows ways to settle down
They pick up simple strategies they can also use outside the sessions.
Knows their reactions matter
The programme shows that different people can react differently to the same sounds, and that those differences are worth noticing.
Noise Fighters does not teach a child to endure noise. It teaches them to notice their own needs and know how to respond to them.
Who it is for
Designed for grades 1-3
1-3of primary school
The Noise Fighters programme is designed for children in grades 1-3 of primary school. The format, language, characters and tasks are matched to the age of children who are only beginning to recognise their emotions, reactions and needs.
At this age children spend more and more time in a school environment full of different sounds, so it is worth showing them early how to notice the moment it gets too loud - and what they can do about it.
The path to calm
When it gets too loud, it helps to know what to do
1
I notice
The child recognises that there is too much sound.
2
I name it
They know that tension, unease or trouble focusing can be a reaction to noise.
3
I ask for support
They can tell an adult that they need a moment of quiet.
4
I settle down
Together they find a calmer place and a way to help the child return to comfort.
A child does not have to manage alone. An adult helps them notice, understand and respond.

Materials that make it easier to keep talking about noise, emotions and the child’s needs.
