These anxiety resources are a fantastic tool to support children’s emotional regulation, and to develop their understanding of their own neuro-psychology, giving them increased agency and control. I have found these and Kim’s other resources hugely beneficial as a child psychotherapist in my practice; I have used them in sessions with children, to support parent understanding in family work, and in school as great resources for classroom and pastoral staff.
I am also a mum of 3 and I use craftly tools to support my children daily. My 4 year old has used a ‘my week’ visual timetable for the last year and this has really benefited her transition to school this September. My 7 year old son can have very big emotions and he loves to use the 5 senses key ring to help him find his calm when he is feeling overwhelmed.
Overall I have to say that everything Kim makes is so well targeted to support child mental health and emotional wellbeing, her own knowledge as a trainee therapist shines through and everything is so child centred and works well for all stages of development. I love using craftly resources on a professional and personal level and will continue to do so!
