LAST DAYS! ★  Your child can overcome big emotions Anxiety, depression, stress, anger, and trauma are all thought to be adult related concerns. No one talks about how these big emotions, feelings, and events can have just as significant of an impact on children. Children are looked at as safe from these hard to overcome emotions. But, with constant exposure to news reports, violent games, social media, and crime in their own neighborhood, it is likely that your child may be struggling with these emotions without you even knowing it. Children often act out when they feel out of control. When they are trying to make sense of what they are feeling, these behaviors intensify. Unfortunately, these behaviors are often chalked up to typical tantrums, the child only trying to get what they want, or the child seeking attention. The cause of the behavior is never really questioned. While it is typical for children to throw tantrums and fits every now and then, when these become more frequent and last longer than a few minutes, this is a clear red flag your child is struggling with some more. Children can suffer from depression, anxiety, and stress, among other intense mood disorders and emotions. Young children do not have the skillset to help them work through these problems on their own. It is no wonder why your child may be acting out if they are feeling confused and frightened by what they are thinking or feeling. As a parent, you want to help your child work through these big emotions and strengthen the skills your child needs to overcome these emotions in the future. That is where this book can help! In this workbook you will understand: What anxiety, anger, stress, trauma, and depression looks like in a child What skills your child may be lacking, which are adding to unwanted behaviors. How to properly open the lines of communication with your child to talk about what they are going through. What lifestyle change can best benefit you and your child. This book will also provide you with activities, games, and techniques that you and your child can do together to work through big emotions. Your child may have struggled in the past to communicate about what they are feeling and what is bothering them simply because they do not yet have an understanding of their feelings. Unwanted behaviors are never because your child wants to be bad. They are simply the only way they know how to cope and handle the big emotions they are experiencing. This book will help you recognize this behavior and how you can help your child make the necessary changes to help them overcome and properly express what they are struggling with. You and your child will gain a clear understanding of how to overcome big emotions, rewire negative thoughts, and maintain control in any situation from this book.

Download or read book Self regulation exercises for children CBT exercises and coping strategies for children how to deal with anxiety and stress written by and published by jideon francisco marques. This book was released on 2023-12-29 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION Teaching children how to identify, understand, and be in control of their thinking, mood, and behavior is crucial to their ability to self-regulate. This book introduces these skills in a child-friendly manner through both story and activities. While this workbook is intended for children ages eight through eleven, the tools and skills, especially those related to identifying and challenging unhelpful thoughts, are valuable for people of all ages and may be advanced for children younger than eight. When children struggle with self-regulation, it often leads to behaviors that make them feel even worse and create stressful situations for others. While children typically regret such behavior and don’t want to repeat it, they likely don’t have the skills to be able to react differently when faced with a similar trigger in the future. This workbook helps children to develop the skills to be able to: • Identify, understand, and express their feelings • Learn to calm their body • Identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts • Identify unhelpful behavior and more adaptive choices they can make instead • Identify and prepare for situations that may be tricky for them to navigate These skills are the foundation of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), an evidence-based treatment that helps people to improve their functioning when dealing with a wide range of problems. Through CBT—which has a decades-old canon of nonproprietary clinical terms and techniques that are elaborated upon throughout this book—people can learn how to recognize their triggers, become aware of their Automatic Thoughts and responses to them, and learn more adaptive ways of thinking and reacting. In this workbook, a character named Alex will tell the story of his journey learning and using different tools and techniques to take control of his feelings. There are a number of activities to help your child learn, practice, and internalize the concepts. Read Alex’s story aloud with your child and support them in completing the activities. There are side notes for grown-ups throughout the book, which is applicable to teachers, mentors, and clinicians as well as parents and caregivers to support their work with kids. These are not intended to be read with your child. While none of the information provided in these side notes would be harmful for a child to learn, they are directed toward adults and are likely to be confusing and boring for them. Alex is a fictional and hypothetical character. Any resemblance he may bear toward an actual child or children is purely coincidental. All of the lessons provided in the book work for Alex, whereas each and every tool or technique may not be efficacious for your child. Keep in mind that developing a skill takes time and practice. Be patient and provide your child with the necessary support to be able to use these skills in their everyday environment. This can include verbal reminders, visual reminders, and actually going through the steps of a skill or plan with them. Spelling, grammar, and penmanship don’t count when it comes to exercises to help manage emotions. If these are challenging or triggering for your child, consider allowing them to complete the exercises verbally and then writing their responses. If that is difficult for your child, you can read the text together and make up other ways to process and further explore the content, such as acting it out or telling a story about it with toys. Meet your child where they’re at and adapt the lessons for them. Simply thinking and talking about tricky or unmanageable thoughts, feelings, and behaviors is challenging enough! It is important for you and your child to further discuss the content of the book and find opportunities to connect it to real-life situations, both while reading and as you’re living your lives. Additionally, practice the skills repeatedly to help your child internalize them. This will support your child’s ability to access the tools when they are actually faced with intense emotions that are difficult to manage. Even when a child has made progress, he or she will continue at times to make mistakes and act on their overwhelming emotions—or allow their “feelings to get in control.” These instances can be opportunities to continue learning and growing. Taking control of feelings is a lifelong process. Even I, a grown-up who helps people manage their emotions for a living, have moments when my feelings get in control and I react in ways that I regret later! This is part of being human. Anticipating this can help make these moments more tolerable. It’s stressful for your child when this happens as well. Be sure to instill messages that decrease feelings of shame. When children have difficulty with self-regulation, they often get messages that their behavior is bad, and they develop an underlying belief that they are bad. Help your child understand that even when their behavior is not good at times, they are always a good person who has strengths. Regulating emotions is hard. It’s harder for some people than it is for others, and that’s okay. You will work together to help your child build the skills to be able to regulate emotions better. Chapter 1 will help your child to expand their emotions vocabulary, understand that it is normal to experience a wide range of emotions, think about what triggers these emotions and how they affect their functioning, and view emotions as something that they can do something about. Having a larger emotions vocabulary can help a child more accurately identify and understand both their experiences and the experiences of others. This improves a child’s ability to manage their emotions and develop healthier relationships. Learning that it is normal to experience a wide range of feelings can help children to feel more comfortable acknowledging and addressing their own emotions and to be more empathetic and tolerant when interacting with others. Chapter 2 will teach your child to think about the intensity of their emotions. Increased awareness of the ability to experience both pleasant and unpleasant feelings at different levels of intensity can help your child to work toward having less frequent big reactions to small triggers and to calm down more quickly. Chapter 3 will help your child to differentiate between experiences, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We live in a society that tends to jumble up these things. It is important to realize that our thoughts and feelings are not facts. This will set the foundation for your child to be able to do the work later. Chapter 4 will teach your child to recognize the way that emotions effect their body. Chapter 5 will teach a number of tools that can help your child to relax and take control of those feelings in their body. Calming down automatic physical responses to emotions will help your child to improve their ability to control their reactions. Chapter 6 will teach your child to be able to notice their Automatic Thoughts and recognize when they are unhelpful. Chapter 7 will teach your child how to challenge and reshape their unhelpful thoughts. The ability to identify and challenge unhelpful thinking can allow your child to view stressful situations more clearly and navigate them more effectively. Chapter 8 will help your child increase their awareness of the fact that their actions are choices that they can thoughtfully make. After your child develops an understanding of their ability to have an urge and be in control at the same time. Chapter 9 will introduce them to tools that can support their ability to choose their actions. Chapters 10 and 11 will help your child to connect all of the tools and insights that they developed as they completed the earlier sections of the workbook. In Chapter 10, your child will write a story about a time when their feelings were in control. Through this activity, your child will further process and internalize the connection between a trigger, their Automatic Thoughts about it, emotions, and reactions. In Chapter 11, your child will rewrite that same story by inserting the coping skills learned to manage the same unhelpful automatic thoughts and urges. If your child writes this story about a trigger that is actually challenging for them to deal with, this can help them prepare to deal with a similar trigger when they are faced with it in the future. Writing stories about coping with common triggers in a healthy manner and reviewing these stories can help your child to internalize the insights, tools, and skills that can be helpful in such situations. This will support their ability to recall this information and apply it to real-life situations. Chapter 12 provides your child with a helpful self-statement and image to instill a sense of empowerment in their ability to navigate the stressors that come their way. If your child continues to struggle with self-regulation, seek the support of a trained mental health clinician. Therapy can help you and your child to process and understand their unique, complex thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Additionally, having your child complete a neuropsychological evaluation can help to better understand the lagging skills contributing to their difficulties so that you can get them set up with the appropriate supports.

Download or read book I Don t Want To Be Bad written by Amy Marschall Psy D and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In my practice as a psychologist, I have met with hundreds of kids. These kids have come from all kinds of homes, family systems, and backgrounds, and they present with all kinds of challenges. The one thing they have in common is that, deep down, every single child wants to be good. Do they act out to seek attention they do not feel they can get otherwise? Absolutely! Do they choose frustrating behaviors because they don't know better ways of getting their needs met? For sure!So how can we, the adults, help children learn how to manage and communicate their emotions appropriately? Enter this book!This workbook is created for use by professionals who work with children with emotional and behavioral issues and the adults who love and care for those children. It is intended for use in a clinical context, or by teachers who are trying to implement trauma-informed resources in their classroom. The activities and tools provided here are designed for children from approximately age 5-12. Although teens could also benefit from these skills, the language used is geared toward a younger audience.These tools are presented to help kids learn skills for self-regulation, mindfulness, and communication of feelings. The order provided is intended to allow children to build upon skills they have already learned. Although this order is recommended, professionals can use their discretion about what tools will be most helpful at a given time. This book is designed to help kids get in touch with their feelings and share these feelings in an appropriate and effective way.Although this book was written with kids with mental health challenges in mind, many of these activities can benefit anyone! What child hasn't had a day when they need to focus on slowing down and taking big breaths?The book starts with tools to help parents implement these skills in their home, then introduces relaxation exercises to help kids calm their bodies when they are escalated. It then progresses into teaching them how to identify what is going on inside of their bodies, even when they might not have a specific name for that feeling. Next, it helps kids put names to what they are experiencing and practice asking for what they need. (As adults, we need to be aware of when kids are communicating needs to us so that they learn that we respond and are there to help them!) Finally, using mindfulness and cognitive behavioral techniques, this book provides resources to help kids cope with negative feelings and thoughts safely and effectively.In my psychology practice, I work with kids who have a hard time expressing their feelings every day. A common complaint I hear is, "Why do I feel this way? I don't have a reason to feel sad/angry/upset!" I like to say, "If feelings were logical, I would be out of a job." No feeling is inherently "good" or "bad," but some feelings are unpleasant and can seem irrational or even shameful. The activities in this book will help kids to not only understand and communicate their feelings, but it encourages them to develop a healthy relationship with their emotions, even when those emotions are unpleasant.I can't promise no bad days, but I can help provide the tools to make those days bearable!
