Are your children anxious about Covid-19? Are your own stress levels increasing with each newscast? Are you wondering how to help your children to calm their worries? We are living in unprecedented times. The world has changed seemingly overnight and we don’t know where this is all leading. Uncertainty about the future tends to provoke anxiety in adults, which is then picked up by our children. One of the best ways to beat anxiety is to have something that you can do right away to calm down. Studies have shown that smiling, being grateful, taking deep breaths and helping others are all powerful ways of relieving stress and reducing anxiety. Here are six tips that you can teach your children and then give them a ‘tool kit’ as a tangible reminder of how to relax whatever the circumstances. You’ll likely have most of these items around.
You can review the day by finding out if they used the tool kit reminders at all and which ‘tools’ worked best for them. Have fun finding trinkets to add to your child’s toolkit. Let me know what you found in the comments below – be creative!
