Help children use coping skills : Shield of Valor

This is a fun little project you can do with your kids.

To get started, download the Shield of Valor template below.

Then, have your child write down different skills to help them feel brave (coping skills).

They can come up with 1 skill per section or they can write multiple skills per section.

Then, let your child color and decorate their shield to their liking.

I think these could be hung on their bedroom, bathroom mirror, or anywhere they see them regularly and remind them of skills they can use when they need help, making them braver.

There are times in life when you feel full of limitations and challenges.

We don’t want to give up, we just need a place to settle down before we continue.

Let kids manage their worries and fears: Worry Monsters

Here’s another fun idea that incorporates coping skills in a creative way.

This is one of my all-time favorite activities for kids who are scared and struggle with fear issues.

Materials needed to worry about monsters:

◆ 1 small box (a tissue box or shoe box will work.)

◆ Decorations (paper, acrylic paints, crayons, markers, stickers, googly eyes, or whatever your child wants.)

Instruct:

1. Paint the outside of the tissue box white to create a base for the tissue box.

Adding white will ensure the tissue box design doesn't show through the paint.

2. Once dry, paint the outside of the tissue box a color of your choice and the inside a different color.

3. Let the children start decorating like monsters

4. Cut a piece of paper into smaller strips.

Write your fears and worries on slips of paper and feed them to the worry monster. 

The concept of the worry monster is that he will eat your worries so that you no longer have to fear them.

Children can write down any hypothetical thoughts, things they fear, or worries they have.

Let your children put these worries into the monster's mouth and leave them there to be "eaten" and cared for.
