CALM AND CONNECTED - EPISODE 173

Where do you begin when you want to teach kids coping skills? Janine has a five step system she uses to help kids learn and use coping strategies, starting with connection, and finishing up with making a personal coping toolkit for kids. 

In this episode Janine speaks about:

  • Connecting with your young person where they’re at and what they love

  • Talking about feelings

  • Using movie or book characters to talk through scenarios 

  • The use of checklists 

  • Making a personalized toolkit

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