Stop Sign Feelings

This episode teaches kids the acronym S.T.O.P. for managing stress, anxiety, or any difficult emotions. S.T.O.P. stands for Stop, Take a breath, Observe, Proceed. The episode starts with a breathing exercise, where we visualize going up and down a hill as we breathe in and out. Then we discuss how road signs tell drivers what they need to know, just like feelings tell us things we need to know. Next, we teach the S.T.O.P. acronym and practice together. We end by saying affirmations.
