Thanks for sharing this blog with your families. Two people reported sharing the blog with their families last night. We're also getting reports of target social skills being applied at home!
Today, we sampled four different calming strategies stations including:
1. Drawing an imaginary calming place to think about.
2. Deep breathing with balloons
3. Brainstorming calming strategies that start with each letter of the alphabet.
4. Trying out positive self-talk statements.
Tonight: Ask your teen to describe the strategy that they liked using the most this morning. THEN-try out this strategy together. Discuss what you liked about it and when it might be a good time to use it.
Example: "I liked drawing an imaginary calming space and thinking about who would be there and what we'd be doing. I'll think about this place when I feel stress about people making new rules about my stuff."
