◦ Make your well-being and mental health number one!
◦ Say yes for what you do want, and no for what you do not want to keep you safe, happy, and comfortable.
◦ Try out different ways to deal with stress, anxiety, or other no-no feelings.
◦ Be creative (Color, draw, play, or write)!
◦ Take time to read to calm you down whenever you feel upset.
◦ Make playlists of songs that make you feel happy, with kid songs or TV Show/Movie songs that comfort you or that you love!

◦ Try out different hobbies so you can find a new one you like!
◦ If you are more into smart, big kid stuff; try puzzles or board games!
