The November “Tool of the Month” is “Take a Break.” This Tool can be helpful in times of frustration, sadness, excitement, and/or fatigue. A mental break may provide needed calm or energy. By taking a break from what we are doing, this allows us to refresh our thinking and help to discover another solution to a problem. Parents can guide younger children in when they may need a break and older children can begin to self-advocate when they may need this break.

The Tool of the Month for October is Breathing. This tool can help calm you down if you are in the red, yellow or blue zone. Breathing can also be used as a preventative tool. The most important part of relaxation breathing is to breathe deep and slow. Place one hand on your belly and the other on your chest. Inhale slowly through your nose causing your belly hand to rise. Exhale slowly through your mouth then repeat.
