Anxiety is a message that tells us to pay attention… ‘Be ready for what’s coming next’. It’s a helpful message, but sometimes people have too much of that message. They are trying to ‘stay ready’ all the time, and that results in anxiety. Unfortunately,anxiety in children is on the rise,但幸运的是,有帮助的技术可以提供帮助。
我们希望本月的迷你弹出式套件可以为您和生活中的小孩子提供一些工具,以积极增加生活中的镇定和降低焦虑。
迷你弹出式套件 - 变得平静
According to a 2017 research study, belly breaths (the kind you’ll practice in the activity) are shown to significantly lower cortisol levels AND heighten attention levels.
Kitchen Table Question:
当您深吸一口气时,感觉如何?
玩“通过袋子”以提高心律。您只需要一个纸袋和一些胶带。这是说明:
-
- 用空气和胶带将其关闭以制作一种气球。
- 站在一只脚上,每个玩家都必须轻轻击中袋子,将其传递给下一个球员(或者他们自己只是在空中保持袋子)
- If a player’s second foot touches the ground, or they break the bag, or the drop the bag, they are eliminated from the game. The last person standing wins!
现在是教育部分:询问孩子们完成游戏后的感觉。
Ask: Where in your body do you feel that? For example, is your heart beating faster? Are you breathing less deeply and more quickly? Are your muscles tense?
尽管他们现在可能没有感到焦虑,但压力的生理症状与兴奋非常相似。
Ask them to draw a simple outline of their body (like a “gingerbread man” cookie) and color in where they are feeling these effects on their body (for example, if the feel their heart beating hard, then they might draw sharp bright lines around the their heart).
现在,练习冷静:
C:C失去眼睛或看c一点点。
答:带来A红外呼吸5次,一直填满您的腹部。
L:记住某人或某物LOve并感到赞赏。
M:想象和平Music playing along with your breathing.
现在,要求他们画出自己的身体的新大纲,并在现在的感觉和地点上涂上颜色。
Discussthe questions below.
Brainstorm times when you feel too much anxiety. When might doing this deep breathing be useful?
How could we signal to each other when one of us needs to take some deep breaths when we are feeling too worried? For example, a code word, body motion, or secret handshake?
