Balancing Memories

Some memories are fantastic and spark joy, while others can be very difficult for a child to manage. Balancing the strong feelings of separation is also about balancing memories, so, while talking about a range of memories is often hard, a child’s memory muscle must be exercised and strengthened. This activity can help a child to understand that we can’t ignore the difficult stuff, nor can we let it dominate, and it will guide you in supporting a child as they think and talk about different types of memories.

The video below helps to explain how the worksheet can help.
