Below you will find printable worksheets, tools, and resources that Child and Youth Care Practitioners use to help children with Attachment Disorders
The Stop Light System:
The Stop Light System is a great tool to help children to figure out what activities and events make them happy, what are some of their stressors (Yellow), what their limits are, and how children can learn new coping skills to help them get from 10 (Red) back down to a comfortable number such as 2 (Green)
Playdough Play!
Another great tool that parents can use when working with children who have some form of attachment disorder. Working with Playdough allows for open-ended play that can help build a child's self-esteem and self-confidence. Children can participate in child-centered/non-directive play or in directive play therapy where they can build a playdough version of how they perceive themselves.
Using Your Senses to Slow Down & Calm Down:
Below is an activity sheet that is designed to help a child to slow down and calm down by teaching breathing techniques, then taking a moment to take in their environment by listing items that they can see, feel, hear, and smell, using the 5 senses to decompress and calm down during stressful situations.
