Pick a small moment, like waiting for a turn or finishing a game. You can use a pretend moment instead. We will look at one feeling and one thing that might help.
How to use this page
Write, draw, point, or tell an adult what to write. You can leave any space empty. If this feels too much, stop and do something else together.
Start with the moment
What was happening? A few words or a simple picture are enough. You do not need to explain every detail or name another person. Try a feeling word, a color, or "not sure." Your answer can change as you think.
Look for one clue
Did your body feel busy, still, tight, warm, or something else? Was it easier to notice what you wanted to do? Either kind of clue is useful. You do not need to close your eyes or focus on your body.
Choose a helper move
Would you like quiet, company, a drink, a different seat, or help with the task? Choose something possible here. Ask the adult which choices are available. You can choose again if the first idea does not fit.
