Coping statements are positive thoughts based on reality, designed to stop negative thoughts that may be linked to anxiety. These thoughts won’t eliminate all fears, worries, and stress, but they can stabilize and balance intense feelings, especially for young minds navigating emotions and uncertainties. The Anxiety Coping Statements handout shows young people a list of positive affirmations they can use whenever they feel anxious. It includes statements like “Whatever I do today is enough” and “I give myself permission to take breaks.” Using this handout not only helps kids and teens feel better about challenges but it also boosts their confidence and helps them deal with difficult emotions more healthily. For example, when trying a new hobby like learning to play an instrument, they can stay positive by repeating one of the phrases. Parents and teachers can turn this into an engaging activity by making catchy tunes using some of the statements. This technique also encourages easy recall of information. *This item is an instant digital download. A link to download your files will be emailed to you once payment is confirmed.

Creamy Mushroom, Potato, and Wild Rice Soup with Paprika and Dill | Guest Recipes | Nigella’s Recipes
Gray day outside? Need something to lift your spirits? This will do it. While comforting and familiar — it’s cream of mushroom soup, after all — this soup elevates the typical creamy bowl with intriguing herbal notes, a smokiness from the wild rice and smoked paprika, and a robust Eastern European flavor palette with caraway, paprika, and dill. As always, if you have access to a mix of wild mushrooms, use them, but basic creminis (which are baby portobellos, did ya know?) or white button mushrooms are totally fine.
