I'm going to repeat this idea as many times as I can, but teaching your kids emotional self-regulation skills and coping strategies is so so so important.
And if you have a child who loves to engage their senses to learn, then this five senses grounding technique is a wonderful tool. You may have already grabbed a copy of the free printable coping cards version of this grounding technique, but I decided to also make a poster version.
This free printable grounding technique poster would make a great addition to a classroom, office, or your child's calm down corner and the kids can reference it when they need help regulating their bodies.
About the Free Printable Coping Skills Poster That Teaches the 5 Senses Grounding Technique
This one page printable outlines a simple grounding technique for kids (or adults too if you really want!) using the five senses. It includes the following steps:
- Look: name 5 things you can see
- Feel: name 4 things you can feel
- Listen: name 3 things you can hear
- Smell: name 2 things you can smell
- Taste: name 1 thing you can taste
It makes a perfect compliment to the free coping cards version and would be a great thing to add to your child's calm down corner.
