"In therapy with kids, I teach: Expressing feelings (sometimes using a scale of 1-5 or colors, helping kids learn and expand their understanding of emotions and names of specific emotions), Coping skills (like asking for a hug, help, space to reset, etc.), Creation of safe spaces (quiet spot, space with art supplies, comfort item to take along, etc.), Family skills and collaborationâkids can't learn and utilize new skills without practice and support, so involving family members is critical, Making time for fun (how to laugh, enjoy activities, and make time for your favorite things, even when you are struggling), Mindfulness and deep breathing (how to stop and reset in the moment with breathing and grounding techniques), Developing and utilizing a support system (Who do you have to ask for help and support? How can we broaden and expand this network for each client at home, school, and in the community?)"
