The Calm Jar.
If you feel that anxiety and worry are very prominent, you can take this one step further and create a Calm Jar.
Simply fill a jar with water, add in some glitter and keep it beside your worry jar.
If someone is feeling really worried, invite them to take the jar to a quiet corner, and shake it hard and watch the glitter settle.
This mindfulness technique allows them to focus on the here and now, and calm their mind.
Once the glitter has settled, have a discussion with the child to explore the worry and support them in deciding how to tackle it.
