If you try one of Super Stretch’s suggestions and it makes the issue worse, it’s ok, don’t go into high alert or panic, just pick something else to try to create a clam, balanced state of being.
Kids can get so worried they forget to breathe. Teach them the most effective calming skill around, breathing. Have them feel the rise and fall of their chest as they inhale and exhale peace. “Take a breath.” Inhale and smell the flowers, exhale and blow out candles. Inhaling: belly, lungs, ribs. Exhaling: Ribs, lungs belly.
At the height of panic tell your child, “This yucky feeling will pass.” I know it sometimes it feels like the worry will never end or it’s too hard to overcome. Our brain can get stuck in the moment but teach your child to focus on the relief that is on the horizon.
