Coping Skills Practice: Sensory

CALM AND CONNECTED - EPISODE 181

Exploring different coping strategies helps us expand our child’s toolkit of strategies that work. But sometimes, it’s a challenge to get kids to try new skills. In this summer series, Janine tries to make it easier by walking you through six different strategies which she invites you to try with your child. Practice each one a few times to see if it’s a strategy that your child likes, and if they want to add it into their coping skills toolkit.

In today’s episode Janine introduces us to a sensory technique called ‘Wrap up in a blanket’. This involves having a blanket and as suggested in the title you wrap yourself up and feel the embrace of the blanket around your body.

Take a moment to listen along and try a new coping skill.
