Move the Worry Out – Tips for Managing Your Child’s Stress

MOVE THE WORRY OUT.

Movement Can Help Release Stress.

TIP: When words are hard to find, movement can be a good place to start.

Anxiety isn’t only in our thoughts… we can feel it in our bodies too. Walking, playing and other movement can help children release tension and improve their mood.

• Take a walk together outside.
• Kick a ball, dance or play.
• Stretch shoulders, arms and legs.
• Spend some unplanned time outdoors.
• Let them choose an activity they enjoy.
