Starting a conversation with a child about their own struggles and coping skills can be difficult. The best way around that in my opinion is to show through examples in books and TV. We all know how hard direct feedback and critique can be, yet if it is explained in a lighter way using someone else as an example, it can be much easier to digest and a perfect way to teach children. 

The topics I cover in this episode are;

I give multiple examples of books you can use for really little children

Using characters in tv shows to work out what they can do when they have big emotions

What works for older children? 

I will explain my new resource library called ‘The Coping Skills Hub’.

Make sure you check out my new resource library here -copingskillsforkids.com/hub

And remember, do not forget about yourself, take a few minutes for you and have a little fun!
