Things to Explore and

Practice

Taking control of Thinking Speed

1. Start to notice when you do not feel so good – maybe you got

confused, were taking longer than you wanted to finish a task or

perhaps other people were getting impatient with you.

2. Say to your brain: “Is this real danger, or is my brain tricking me?

What would help me to feel better now?

You may want to write those words down to remind you. Or maybe

keep a picture of a bear in your pocket to remind you.

3. Spend time with your Mum or Dad looking at the strategies to

help with Thinking Speed on Slide 16. Which ones could you try to

help yourself? Which ones do you want adults to use to help you? Ask

your Mum or Dad to help you email the school to let them know.
