They will need coping skills that will work to help them manage their feelings in safe and healthy ways. The strategies that will work will be different, depending on what emotion they are feeling, where they are, and their own personal preferences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis activity book focuses on \u003cb\u003eRelaxation Coping Style\u003c\/b\u003e. It includes strategies like: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eDeep Breathing: \u003c\/b\u003e This is one of the first strategies I work on with clients to help them. Sometimes kids need more structure and instruction around deep breathing, so I included several ways to explore deep breathing so a child can hopefully find one that works for them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eColor, Draw, Imagine, Write: \u003c\/b\u003e Several pages encourage a child to use their imagination, draw, color, or write. They can use these pages to explore places, people, and items that are soothing for them. There are also opportunities to write things like song lyrics and positive thoughts that can help them as they go through their day to day life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eMindfulness and Grounding Techniques: \u003c\/b\u003e These are helpful tools for managing thoughts and emotions, and even improving concentration. Mindfulness and grounding strategies are not about clearing the mind, but rather being aware of the present moment and noticing feelings and thoughts, and encouraging kids to slow down. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eTried it, Liked it Tracker: \u003c\/b\u003e At the end of the book, there's also a space to keep track of coping skills pages a child has attempted, and whether or not they liked it. First, this encourages them to try different skills in the book at least once. Second, it offers them is an opportunity to recognize if something was helpful or not helpful. If they didn't like it or didn't feel any differently, that's okay! Not all coping skills work for all kids. The important thing is not to give up and keep trying. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere is also a section for kids to note the skills they respond to the most. These are their top 5 go-to coping skills. This is a powerful list. Share with kids that these are things they can do when they feel worried, anxious, or upset. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKids respond very well to visual cues for their coping skills. You can encourage them to use their creativity and make visuals for these skills, or you can use the \u003cb\u003eCoping Cue Cards Relaxation Deck\u003c\/b\u003e as a visual supplement to this activity book.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.21 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 12, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52655601811763,"sku":"9781733387156","price":20.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/eGtHbDdkSGRTS1RYVEljQ2ROWmdTUT09.webp?v=1762531107","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/coping-skills-for-kids-activity-books-relaxation-round-up-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
