Sample Debriefing Questions (when your child is done watching the video and completing the exercise discuss the following questions with them.)

How did the exercise make you feel?
Was it harder to send caring wishes to yourself? Did it become easier or harder the more you practiced?
Why is it important to be kind to yourself?

Grounding (Coping Exercise)/ Senses Worksheet The basic premise of this exercise is that reconnecting with all of your senses can ground you in the present moment, putting a stop to racing negative thoughts. It helps to let your body know that there is nothing to fear. Anyone can make time for this exercise, as it only takes five minutes. All you need is a quiet space with no distractions. Sit upright, rest your hands on top of your thighs, and make sure you’re comfortable. Next, breathe slowly and deeply, and follow these five steps on the poster. I have also attached a worksheet if you want to write it out instead of just saying it out loud. Color by Coping Skill
