Parents and Caregivers, you can encourage use of this worksheet in a few different ways:
Children and teens can use it to choose any activity when their emotions are running high (a supportive reaction).
You can ask them to refer to it regularly and choose self-care activities at any time (a proactive response).
Children or teens can mark off the activities they do throughout the day/week (promoting a sense of accomplishment).
They can create and choose their own activity to help self-regulate (encouraging self-compassion & creativity).
They can also design their own self-care worksheet (exploring empowerment).
