Description:A tool to help parents and therapists with their children’s behaviour. Developed from research with therapists, parents and children.
From the eyes of a child:
“Expressing my feelings is hard for me,
Sometimes things don’t go my way,
and I don’t know what to say.
Help me to practice talking about my feelings,
play with me in the spinning feelings game,
help me to learn that peoples feelings aren’t all the same.
Tell me stories,
help me to role play what I will say and do,
in real situations, in real life.
I press the picture and it talks for me,
Watch me,
Do you understand why I feel this way?
Sometimes things are too loud for me,
Sometimes I can’t make you see, what I can see,
I don’t like it when you change things without telling me.
Sometimes you tell me that I am wrong,
I don’t know how to tell my mind to be strong.
Calm talk games help me to take a break,
I listen to sounds down by the lake.
I pop bubbles to calm my mind.
I learn how to stop, breathe and count to 5.
I feel calmer, when I go to sleep at night
and mum turns out the light."
