Blowing Worries Away
Kids don't have to pay bills, run a household, or manage carpools. But — just like adults — they have their share of daily demands, and if frustrations pile up, they stress or worry.
Luckily, you can teach your child to master life's challenges, whether big or small, with confidence and optimism. You can use this printable "Blow Your Worries Away" thatcombines visualization and mindfulness techniques for letting go of all sorts of negative feelings.
Ask your child to put anything that bothers them into the bubbles and let the wind carry them far, far away. They just float out into nothingness.If you give this a try, your child will feel a sense of relief while realizing that they have the power to control their thoughts and decide if they want those thoughts to stay with them or not.
