Too many people, adults and kids alike, feel consumed with a feeling of worthlessness. As if they have no value. The more value they see in others the less they see in themselves. Insecure kids grow into hollow adults who don't believe that they are beautifully and wonderfully made. But you do have value! You were made with purpose and for a purpose. Nobody has to earn their value in this life. You were born with it.

Learning how to soothe themselves is perhaps the most important skill children can learn. Whether we find calm by petting a dog, listening to music, or taking a few deep breaths, we can all find our way into relaxation and self-regulation. Finding our unique personal combination of ways to soothe ourselves is key to weathering the many ups and downs of life. It is wise to have a repertoire of calming techniques because one technique might not be available - it may not be possible to listen to music when we are stressed! Many of us don't address a child's stress or anxiety until it is a problem. However, we can help relieve stress and achieve a better quality of life more successfully if we build mindfulness and stress management into our daily lives.Leading by example is one of the best ways to foster a positive approach to handling stress and to teach the skills to address it. Whether we work with children in any of a variety of situations or just with our own child, we find that if a child experiences a lot of anxiety or has a panic attack, the most important and helpful tool we have is ourselves. If we get agitated, it will increase the child's agitation. Likewise, our unruffled demeanor may lower a child's stress level. Staying calm is an intervention in itself.This resource guide covers exercises, materials which can be kept on hand, programs that children can explore either with an adult or by themselves, and more. When professional assistance is needed, this guide it can help to find it. The guide is not meant to be all-encompassing, but the majority of these ideas, suggestions, and activities are research-based, and are used in therapeutic work with children. It is our hope that they will provide some relief and give you and the child new techniques and skills to reduce stress and improve your lives. Although the resource guide is directed primarily to parents and primary caregivers, anyone who works with children may find it valuable for the children around them - and for themselves as well.
