🔹This week sees the next step on the Road Map to lifting lockdown restrictions. Many will be excited to visit non-essential shops and finally get a haircut. But after a long time of living with restrictions, the idea of going back to 'normal' activities might also bring some mixed feelings. This may be particularly true for families who have been grieving in isolation, and may not have seen many people since the death of their loved one. 🔹We found a brilliant craft on thebestideasforkids.com which could be used to help children find comfort when experiencing difficult feelings. 🔹Making cactus rocks can give you the opportunity to talk about any situations children may be feeling anxious about returning to. You might like to explain that it is normal to feel a bit 'prickly' (like a cactus!) about certain things when we've spent a long time not doing them, especially if things have changed a lot in that time. We might not feel as confident, or relaxed, or may feel more defensive about personal things like family. When we feel like this we might react differently, or want to hide away. You could talk to your child about what they could do when they feel like this, things like; taking some deep breaths while counting to 10 on their fingers, talking to a trusted friend, thinking about the positive things they used to enjoy about that situation etc. 🔹Once made, children could keep the cactus rock in their pocket as a comfort and to remind them of the strategies you've spoken about for when they feel a bit 'prickly'. If you would like more advice on helping children manage difficult feelings, take a look at our blog on emotional regulation ow.ly/R3L350EkJV5Visit www.thebestideasforkids.com/pet-cactus-rocks/ to see how to make the cactus rocks. ...
