CALM AND CONNECTED - EPISODE 178

Using coping skills can be such a useful tool to have ready in our tool kits to use with our children or even ourselves. Sometimes it’s hard to get kids to practice and try different strategies. In this year's summer series, Janine introduces us to a selection of different coping skills which she invites you to practice and see which style works best for you and your child.

In today’s episode, Janine introduces us to a deep breathing technique called ‘Cool the Cocoa’. This is where you breathe in and out pretending to blow and cool down a hot drink of cocoa.

Take a moment to try a new method, listen along and practice if you’d like. See if it’s a skill you’d like to add in to your own personal coping skills toolkit!
