Three Benefits of Using Distraction Coping Skills

CALM AND CONNECTED - EPISODE 73

As you may know, at Coping Skills for Kids, I divide coping skills into 5 types:

• Relaxation

• Movement

• Sensory

• Processing

• Distraction

In this episode of the podcast, I’m focused on distraction coping skills, which include things like playing and fun activities. Distraction coping skills aren’t meant to help kids avoid or suppress their feelings. Take a listen to the podcast to hear the three benefits of using distraction as a coping skill, and for some resources that you can get from Coping Skills for Kids.
