Emotional Toolkit For Kids

There’s no doubt that the Covid pandemic has had a huge negative impact on the state of people’s mental health.

According to the charity Mind, from over 12,000 people surveyed, 65% of adults and 68% of young people with mental health problems say their mental health has got worse since the first national lockdown and 26% of adults and 18% of young people experienced mental distress for the first time during the first national lockdown.

It may take many years before we know the full extent of what the pandemic did to our mental health as a nation but from a purely anecdotal account, we know that many children have suffered by being isolated from their friends and family.

So what can be done to help?

According to two very enterprising and highly experienced women, Julie-Anne Graham and Sinead Tiernan, we need to help children build their emotional intelligence which gives them a strong core foundation, a sense of self-worth and the ability to deal with negative thoughts and emotions. And, if we do this successfully, our children will feel better about themselves and know how to deal with their worries and anger, help them make friends more readily and develop good self-esteem and confidence.

That’s a tall order, not only for the kids themselves but also for the adults in their life but thankfully Julie-Anne and Sinead have developed an online learning resource to help.

The Emotional Toolkit for Kids is aimed at children aged 7-12 and deals with such topics as identifying the root cause of their negative feelings, separating feelings and behaviours, how to calm themselves down and regain emotional balance and dealing with frustration and anger - to name only a few things in the programme.

They use journaling, grounding and breathing exercises, acupressure, visualisations and creative activities to help children learn the necessary techniques to build the blocks of good emotional health and the good news is that adults can also join in.

The Emotional Toolkit includes 20+ videos, 10 audio meditations and a course workbook full of activities including The Wheel of Emotions and The Emotional Tool Selector.

Both Julie-Anne and Sinead have vast experience when it comes to helping others change their mindset to a more positive and healthy outlook and have proved their worth when dealing with children.
