Each month we will highlight a new activity that you can do alone or with your family to remember a person or pet that has died.
This month’s activity:
High Five: Ways to calm myself down
Supplies Needed
Paper
Washable paint
Pen/Pencil
Directions:
For this month’s activity, we are identifying five safe things you can do when you feel upset.
Start by thinking about ways that help you when you feel upset. For example, hit a pillow, or kick a ball. You may want to make a list. Your list may have some things that are physical and some that are not, it is your list. Next, paint your hand with the washable paint and place your palm down to make a handprint on your paper. Using your list, write along each finger one safe thing (something that is not hurting you or someone/something else) you can do. You may want to share your list with your family or close friends or you may want to keep your list private. This list is a great reminder of things you can do to calm yourself down when you feel upset.
Remember, all feelings are okay to have, and it is important to find safe outlets for them.
