WHEN KIDS ARE HURTING EMOTIONALLY INSIDE THE WOUND IS JUST AS REAL AS WHEN THEY SCRAPE THEIR KNEE AND HAVE A GASH.
GIVING KIDS BANDAGES FOR BOO-BOO'S HAS NEVER BEEN SO POWERFUL
These aren't just any bandages. They serve a very special purpose.
Feeling Bandages™ can be used as regular bandaids, or ideally, with the process Cathy Conheim LCSW developed to address kids 'inside hurt,' in a way that quickly builds their skills and capacities... while supporting you as a parent to show up grounded, calm and attuned.
Imagine expressing what you're feeling, what you need & asking for help from someone keen to meet your needs. Equipping kids with this inner knowing, language and capacity for connection is life changing. 3 to 6 year olds are in a unique time of development. These are highly effective in a home environment where caregivers are seeking to meet core needs and help their kids develop the nervous system architecture & communication/language needed to thrive & lead in adulthood.
Ideas for use:
You can sit on the floor with your child and practice giving and receiving band-aids for both inside and outside hurts. Pretend that someone said something mean to you today and you have an ‘inside hurt’ on your heart. Ask the child to help you put a bandaid on top of where 'it hurts' with the appropriate emotion (sadness)9 band-aid.
Ask your child, “Do you have any inside or outside hurts today? Would you like me to put a band-aid on it?” At first, it may seem silly, but eventually, your child will come to understand that we all get inside hurts, just as we get outside hurts. And that we adults care enough about them to pay attention and give care for all of their hurts-whether they are seen or unseen,
