Emotional Well-being: Self-comfort and Soothing Strategies

During tough times, big feelings like fear, anxiety, or anger may fill up our brains. Simple methods and non-verbal activities for self-comfort can help children and adults get “unstuck,” and can be practiced in any moment. 

Find resources below from Sesame Street in Communities to help children learn and practice how to self-soothe. Remember, these ways work for grown-ups, too!
