Take time out

It might help to read this with an adult.

When things are bad at home it can help to take time out…

Try one of these things

• Go outside and take a walk or hug a tree

• Go outside and kick a ball

• Listen to some music in your room

• Read your favourite book

• Do some drawing or art

• Dance around your room to your favourite music!

• Go to our cool fun stuff and spend some time there

• Read about other kids stories

• Play some computer games

• Build a cubby house

• Run and hide for a bit and be by yourself

• Yell your feelings into a pillow

• Talk to your dog or cat – they can be very understanding!

• Talk to someone like a friend, or Grandma, Grandpa, Aunty or Uncle (see getting help for more ideas)

• Chat to your brother or sister
