CALM AND CONNECTED - EPISODE 137
We all know the 5 senses of the human body, being sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing but have you heard of proprioception or vestibular?
Let me ask you a question - if you had a magic wand and could fix one major problem or difficulty you have with teaching kids coping skills when they need them most, what would you change? I asked my email list this very question and got some interesting answers. This episode will give you 7 strategies to help kids use coping skills when they need them most.
The topics I cover in this episode are:
Practicing skills when your child is calm and the benefits
Create visual reminders like cue cards
Make a plan before anything happens or escalates
The importance of debriefing
Create a calm area or space
Have an ‘on-the-go’ calm down kit
Your mindset matters too - as the adult, parent or guardian
Your actions make such a difference, how important modeling is
