This morning the boys started the day by imagining their safe space. Jackie told us his safe space is his bed and Harry told us his is a massive island called Moneyland which looks like a £1 coin. On this island Harry is very small and he likes to chill.
I think visualising their safe space is a good strategy for them to use if/when they get upset 🙂
Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday the boys are being taught three different techniques to help manage their emotions.
Here are the boys this morning taking part in Visualisation where we imagine ourselves in a safe/favourite place e.g. the beach, the park or our own bedrooms.
We take some deep breaths to help ground ourselves and feel calmer 🙂
We are hoping the different strategies will help the boys over time.
