We have six new resources for you this week, including a new display resource!
This week we bring you six new mental health resources for children as we reach the end of the half term holidays. Halloween is just a stones throw away and children will be settling back into their routines. With darker evenings looming, moods may dip and some children may seem more tired than usual. See what we have below to brighten up your home or classroom!
Rainbow Breathing Display - We're excited to bring you our first display resource and this one was a request. This prints out as 14 A4 pages which you can cut out and easily piece together somewhere visible. Children can place their fingers on the resource if it is somewhere reachable to practise deep breathing, starting at each star and following the colours of our rainbow, breathing in and out. But this display isn't just limited to classrooms, you can display it at home, on wards, in play centres - anywhere where children may need access to a fun calming technique!
The Cup of Calm - This is one of our favourite new resources, the Cup of Calm features fun calming techniques children can do to quickly calm down. We've also included a blank Cup of Calm, so that they can draw or write their favourite techniques in their own cup to keep.
My Trigger Scale - Learning about what triggers our emotions is one of the best things we can do - identifying what make us feel angry, calm, sad or worried can help us to manage our environment and responses better. Have your children think about what provokes each emotion on this 5 Point Scale.
Explore a Feeling - Does your little one fancy themselves as a bit of an explorer? Then they can explore this resource! This is a fun check-in activity which helps your child to assess how they feel and become more mindful of how they are feeling. Asking them to pick a colour that represents the feeling, how big the feeling is and where they feel it on their body.
My Anxiety Prep - We've had a few requests for social anxiety resources recently so we've come up with our Anxiety Prep - but it doesn't just have to be for social situations, this worksheet can be completed about anything your child may be worrying about. This activity gets them to think about how they can prepare themselves before the event or situation they are worrying about and what they can do during if they feel their anxiety levels begin to increase.
My Anxiety Prep - Adults - Our Adults Anxiety Prep, similar to the above, is new to our Motherhood section. A lot of anxiety stems from being unable to control certain situations or fearing the unknown, with this worksheet, you can feel more prepared about what's to come and focus on what you can control in the moment.
Updated! - Hot Chocolate Breathing - Hot Chocolate Breathing was part of our 12 Days of Mindful Christmas last year and was incredibly popular, so we've given this a little update ready for the colder months. Decorate the hot chocolate, then imagine cooling the hot chocolate down with big deep breaths.
