Fear and anxiety stimulate the parts of the sympathetic nervous system required for a ‘flight and fight’ response. The body requires a ‘hyper’ sensation to move quickly and react. Anxiety is a heightened nervousness that continues over a period of time. To create balance and harmony once again, activities that stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system (sometimes called the rest and digest system) are required, to bring about a ‘hypo’ response, slowing the heart rate and relaxing the body.

Anxiety is a strong feeling, and without the use of supportive coping strategies, anxious thoughts can spiral quickly. Dealing with anxiety successfully requires de-escalation techniques: specific activities that bring anxious children back into their bodies and the present moment.

The techniques detailed below assist the calming and grounding process, enabling children to move forward. They help with general anxiety, as well as senses that are overwhelmed.
