THINGS LITTLES CAN DO TO DEAL WITH STRESS
🌸 Breathing exercises!
🌸 Communicate with someone like your caregiver; talk about why you're stressed! Don't bottle up your feelings.
🌸 Maybe practice yoga or do some exercise.
🌸 Listen to music that makes you feel little, relaxed, &/or happy!
🌸 Go on a walk.
🌸 Pet animals! Go to a pet store that lets you interact with the animals, play with a pet of your own, go to a dog park, etc. (If this isn't an option, you can just look at videos of cute animals, or something!)
🌸 Put on comfy clothes, or something that you feel super cute and little in!
🌸 Take a nice, warm bubble bath. Maybe light some candles, or use a wax warmer!
🌸 If you're stressed about something school related, maybe study or prepare, or try to get some of the work done if you're behind with stuff.
🌸 Laugh! Watch funny videos on YouTube, perhaps.
🌸 Play a game with your caregiver, or ask for a cute little task to complete for them! (Coloring a picture, baking something, etc.)
🌸 Get out the things that make you feel little, like your favorite sippy filled with your favorite drink, a favorite snack, fluffy socks or cute thigh-highs, a onesie or pajamas, and whatever else.
🌸 Turn on one of your favorite cartoons or movies!
🌸 Snuggle up with lots of warm blankets and maybe browse your tumblr feed or look at things that calm you down/make you feel little.
🌸 Read a book, or have your caregiver read to you!
🌸 Just cuddling or being around your caregiver can make you feel lots better.
🌸 Plan ahead for things that you're worried about!
🌸 Make a list of goals or chores to get done for the week so you don't feel overwhelmed.
🌸 Make sure you're going to bed on time, and have a good sleeping
🌸 Do certain things in moderation, like TV, games, etc. Make sure you're not doing one thing the whole day!
🌸 Get our your coloring book or scrap paper and whatever tools you use (crayons, colored pencils, etc) and draw or color!
🌸 Play dress-up!
🌸 Have tea-time with your caregiver and/or stuffies!
🌸 Clean up your room really nice! I find that being in a clean, fresh-feeling environment makes me feel much calmer.
🌸 Do something cute with your hair, or maybe something you haven't tried before!
🌸 Organize your stuffies, or other things.
🌸 Take a nap! A lot of the time, you might just be cranky or stressed because you're tired! Cuddle up with your caregiver or some stuffies and get your paci, if you use one!
