• Quick ways to calm down

    Think of your favorite place.- Imagine what does it look like, smell like, feel like, etc. 

    Think of your favorite things

    Sing the lyrics of a song you love

    Squeeze something (play doh, ball, pillow, our fists, silly putty)

    Name things you see in your surroundings in alphabetical order (apple, book, cat, door, etc)

    Identify 5 things you see, 4 things you smell, 3 things you touch, 2 things you hear, 1 thing you taste

    Get a cold drink of water

    Take deep breaths
