It is good to talk about feelings: Make time to talk and listen to your child to about his or her feelings. Find creative ways to help your child let you know how they feel, e.g. drawing, play, pictures, writing worries down and throwing them away.
Remain calm: we are role models for our children and it is important to show them ways to manage difficult feelings.
Solution time: Think together about different solutions to difficult situations and chose the best ones.
Relaxation time: Work out what helps your child to relax e.g. music, jumping on trampoline, colouring, go out in nature. You can also help your child to learn relaxation strategies e.g. breathing gently and slowly (slowly blowing bubbles can be a good and fun way to help your child to do this). Some children find sensory activities relaxing, for ideas please see the Sensory Strategy leaflet.
