I Can Calm Myself Down, Slow Down & Settle Down
You can help kids build resilience by teaching them coping strategies they can remember and use on their own.
I Can Calm Myself Down
Slow Down and Settle Down
Pro tip: This activity can benefit both kids and adults, individually or together, one-on-one or in groups. Depending on who you’re working with at a given time, adapt or omit activities as you see fit—you know your kids and families best!
Ask parents and children to share ways they calm and soothe themselves. Share these two videos for more self-care ideas.
