Here are 8 ways by which you can calm down your kid anywhere...

All kids have a hard time regulating their emotions. Some have tougher times than others. For those that need a bit extra help, these calming tools can do anywhere, will provide them the skills necessary to calm down in any situation.

1. COUNT TO 5

Counting is a great way to help kids learn how to stop and think before reacting to their anger. Impulse control is difficult to come by for young kids. This simple tactic gives them a chance to think before they act.

2. TAKE A DEEP BREATH

Deep breathing is such a great relaxation technique. Despite, how they are feeling, taking a deep breath can help them calm their body quickly.

3. BLOW INTO YOUR HANDS

This is another technique for promoting deep breathing. By blowing directly into their hands rather than the air, the child receives feedback and can feel the strength of their breaths.

4. PLACE HANDS IN POCKETS

This act provides kids with some deep pressure and physical restraint. An alternative to this would be to sit on hands or clasp them tightly.

5. ACKNOWLEDGE ANTECEDENTS TO ANGER

It is so important that kids begin to notice and realise what happens to their bodies when they become angry. What does their face feel like? Is there tension in their body?

6. MAKE A FIST, THEN RELAX THE HAND

Squeezing hands into fists and then releasing is a great way to remove some of the tension built up in the body. Often kids do not realise how much tension they are holding in their bodies when becoming upset.

7. DO A BODY SCAN

Star at the head, working down the body, notice areas of tension and relax those of muscles.

8. ASK FOR A HUG

Hug can make everything better. Find someone you love and hug it out.
