Dreaming Peace

Creative Ideas for Quality Time Together.

​

1. Read books to me.

2. Share with me how you are feeling so I can learn the language of emotion.

3. Accept my emotions and help me recognize how emotions change and shift.

 

Activities we could do with our Pillow

​

• Next washing – draw something else you might like to be when you grow older.

• Draw or write what you want or need from your parent or caregiver.

• Show it to them – you might also want to voice what it is…have your parents or caregiver answer you either through adding to your drawing or creating one of their own - what they wish to give to you or do for you in answer to what you drew.
