When I Feel Anxious Social Story: Pages 35

Has your child every been bullied or experienced harassment? Mine has on several occassions, and surprisingly by educated adults too. Research shows our kids are more likely to be bullied, harassed or victimized, thus we have to create education around this matter, and equip our kids with strategies. This book talks about how your body feels when you are anxious and some of the strategies that can be employed. Unfortunatley, not everyone is nice or tolerant. Mental Health and Bullying is a very important issue today.  Discussing how your feelings, having coping strategies are very important in today's world.  This poster can be downloaded, cut out, laminated ( optional) and used by teachers , students and parents. Use this poster to go over strategies with your child. This poster can be put into a strategy book for your student, and or placed on the wall of their room or a teachers room for reminder of coping strategies. Pair this resource with the Anxiety or Coping  Flashcards. These can be cut out and placed in a key ring to remind the student/child of strategies. These are not just for children and adults with Autism but for the average person. Everyone has stresses, and everyone has stresses in their lives. We can all benefit from coping strategies.

Use these with your students to let them know it is okay to have anxiety but it is important to have coping strategies.  

It is important to teach that we must be patient and considerate with somene else's disabiity or mental health. Learning how to be positive and caring for  someone else is important. We never know what has happened in someone's life, and a spontaneous gesture of caring might just be what they needed. Use these cards as part of a anti-bullying class. 

The intent of this section is to address the issues of Mental Health and Bullying by, not only sharing research and creating awareness, but also by creating practical resources to teach students of all ages. If Mental Health and Bullying is incorporated into the school curriculum,  and places of business for customers, members and staff we feel this type of awareness can provide students with an understanding of how to manage their mental health throughout their lives.  Furthermore, students will learn what is
Mental Health, how to recognize their feelings, what are the signs and symptoms and what strategies can they use to manage their mental health throughout their lives.
