Coping skill

When we face something difficult or upsetting, it can make us feel very bad. Coping skills are things we can do to help ourselves feel better when we're upset or overwhelmed.

For example, if you're feeling mad or frustrated, you might take some deep breaths, count to ten, or go for a walk to calm down. If you're feeling sad or worried, you might talk to a friend or family member about your feelings, color or draw, listen to music or read a book that makes you feel better.

We all have different coping skills that work best for us, and it's important to practice them so that we can use them when we need them the most. Coping skills can be helpful for when we have big feelings, when we face tough situations or just when we need a little break from the stress of everyday life.
