A calm kit is a box full of things to help you feel good. When you are
feeling upset, anxious or having tricky thoughts, you can use the box to
calm down, feel better and get yourself back in the green zone.
Remember, it is personal to you so everyone's box will be different
because everyone responds differently to different things.
A pick-me-up is something that restores a persons energy,
improves their mood, or generally lifts their spirits.
Self care is the little things we do to look after our own mental health.
When we think about self-care, we might think of a particular activity
such as reading a book or having a bath. Self-care can be a single activity,
but it doesn’t have to be. It could be setting a boundary with someone to
look after your own mental health; it could be pushing yourself to do
something you’re nervous about; or it could be giving yourself permission
to take a break.
Parental responses to children’s anxious behaviour can have a huge impact. By using some of the
following techniques, you can help your child build up their brave behaviour and develop their
confidence in coping with and overcoming their fears.
Children find attention and praise very rewarding. The more brave behaviour is noticed and
praised, the more children are likely to do it.
Most people experience grief when they lose someone or
something important to them. It may affect how you feel
physically, mentally and socially. Everyone processes grief
differently and there is no right or wrong way to feel, think
or behave. You might feel grief following the death of a
family member or friend, an illness of someone close to you,
the loss or death of a pet, a change in a relationship or the loss
of a relationship (like someone moving away),
