For kids, I would bet that most fear and anxiety comes out of feeling insecure, confused, helpless, embarrassed and/or overwhelmed. Part of emotional development and maturation for kids is to learn the labels for different emotions so that they can start to recognize them in themselves (and others.) How we speak to our kids when they’re upset can make a huge difference to how they feel and you could start by creating your own Anti-Anxiety Kit, Calming Basket or even Glittery Calm Down Bottles. There are tons of things you can do to help your child release some pressure.

We learn as we grow and if anything it gets easier… These activities aren’t difficult to prepare or execute, and are effective for young children — as well as parents! If your child habitually gets angry, prepare a few activities in advance so you will have them ready; find the one that works best for your child.
