How Our Bodies May Feel When We Are Nervous
Just like adults, children can feel worried and anxious at times. They can feel anxious about different things at different ages and at different times. This activity helps young children explore how their body may feel when they experience worry or anxiety.
Relaxation Strategies
Relaxation exercises help children to manage their response to worry and anxiety. These activities have been designed to provide a distraction from worrying thoughts.
Experiences That Can Cause Worry
Children can sometimes be anxious and worried about new or less familiar experiences such as visiting the dentist, having their haircut or moving house. This is often because they are not sure what will happen when they go. This activity explores a visit to the dentist and supports discussion to help ensure visiting the dentist is a pleasant experience for young children. You may wish to consider a different context depending on what is relevant for your children.
