Exploring different coping strategies helps us expand our child’s toolkit of strategies that work. But sometimes, it’s a challenge to get kids to try new skills. In this summer series, Janine tries to make it easier by walking you through six different strategies which she invites you to try with your child. Practice each one a few times to see if it’s a strategy that your child likes, and if they want to add it into their coping skills toolkit.
In today’s episode Janine introduces us to a relaxation technique called ‘Rainbow Grounding’. This is where you look for the colors of the rainbow around you starting with red and working through all the colors looking for two items.
Take a moment to listen along and try a new coping skill.
And remember, do not forget about yourself, take a few minutes for you and have a little fun!
