Description
Helping children understand that their reactions should be based on the size of the problem
Outline:
We all over react at times, don’t we? With this selection of activities – we explore, the most appropriate reaction, based on the size of the problem. It is broken down into steps – so that they child fully understands each part of the process. It should be used as a teaching tool – giving the child knowledge and skills into understanding social expectations.
If the child’s reaction is consistently a 4 and aggressive – there needs to be additional support put in place, to help the child regulate their nervous system throughout the day. It shouldn’t be expected, that they can achieve this independently. Please, see the coping strategies toolkit for more ideas.
