Helping Kids Celebrate Strengths
Empower your child to be his best self.
- Watch the video, then help kids put their own words into the song: “What I am is _________.” What are some good things they can say about themselves? Their friends?
- Ask kids to share something they are proud of. Remembering their great qualities and successes will help build the confidence and determination to work through tough feelings and meet new challenges.

Bubble Time
A quiet activity such as blowing bubbles can help both children and adults breathe deeply, slow down… and calm down.

Friendship Bracelets
When it’s hard to be apart from those we love, the littlest things can become big reminders that someone loves us and is thinking of us.
Cloud Watching
Spending time outside can feel like a “reset” on the day.
Pillow Hugs
Hugging a pillow covered with an item of a loved one’s clothing can help comfort children when they’re missing them.
