Managing Our Emotions

Coping with our emotions - resources to use at home

 

 

The resources below can be used by parents at home to aid their children's understandings of their emotions and just how

powerful they are! Use the resources as a talking point, watch the videos with your children and discuss! Emotions affect us all in

different ways and being able to talk openly about our well being and the feelings we experience is vital. Keep checking back for more resources which we will upload to this section of the website.

The Huge Bag of Worries

Watching this video at home with your children can be really helpful to allow them to understand worries and anxieties we all have, and the impact they can have on us, emotionally.

The video also helps us to learn how we can share our worries in the healthiest way to become and cope with our anxieties.
