When you have a cut or a graze on your knee an adult may get the first aid kit out to get you some cream or a plaster.

• But what do we do if our feelings are hurting?
• When your feelings are hurting a plaster just won’t help.
• What do you do that makes you feel a little bit happier?
• What would you put in your ‘emotional’ first aid kit?

Here are some ideas that young people from a Slide Away workshop would like to share with you:

Play on the DS

Play with my toys

Cuddle the dog and Hamsters

Play on the Wii fit

Go on the Computer

Do something to make myself proud

Go out with my friends in the park

Have a good cry

Cuddle my Cat

Watch TV

Do something physical - jump on a trampoline, jump on a bed, throw a pillow, play sport, cycling, jog and run around, use ideas, dance
