Do
you have an anxious child and struggle with how to ease their worries? Try
using a worry box. By making one with your child, you provide support and
empower them to cope with their difficult feelings. When your child feels
anxious invite them to use a tool from their Worry Box. The more confident your
child is in handling their anxiety, the less anxious they will be.
We
recently finished a worry box in the office for bed-time anxiety and within
four weeks the child was sleeping in their own bedroom (a first) and sleeping
through the night.
Here
is a list of 21 anxiety easing tools your child can add to their worry box:
1.
Homemade stress ball
2.
Mindfulness coloring books and crayons
3.
Positive affirmation or mantra cards
4.
Cards or picture that remind your child to
take deep breaths
5.
Relaxing music
6.
Thought challenging charts and worksheets
7.
A book
9.
Photos that your child perceives as calming
such as family, friends, or vacation memories
10.
Putty or clay
11.
Worry stone
12.
Lavender scented pillow or satchel
13.
Water bottle
14.
Pictures of a few yoga postures or
exercises
15.
Journal
16.
Stuffed animal or blanket
17.
A water bottle filled with a little food
coloring and glitter to shake (Not for drinking)
18.
Sound machine with calming nature sounds
19.
Flashlight
20.
A supportive note from mom or dad
21.
Worry dolls or a worry box/jar where your
child can write or draw their worry then put it away in the box

As reported by Stanford Medical, It's indeed the SINGLE reason women in this country live 10 years more and weigh an average of 42 pounds less than us.
ReplyDelete(Just so you know, it really has NOTHING to do with genetics or some secret exercise and really, EVERYTHING about "how" they are eating.)
BTW, I said "HOW", not "WHAT"...
