Page 23 - Unit 5 Brain Needs: Understanding Physical Needs & Stressors

General advice on reducing stressors:

❑ Help children find the right scaffolds and strategies so they

feel ‘I can’.

❑ Work with children to help them find their ‘inner calm’ and

give times to ‘being calm’ - this may be jumping, running,

dancing, classical music or breathing. Help children find the

best for them.

❑ Try strategies to help children find calm.

❑ Help children understand

their needs and prepare to

meet them in ways that are

good for everyone.
