When children feel anxious or worried, these doodle sheets can help them to feel grounded and calm.

What do we mean by grounding? Grounding allows us to reconnect with the earth, this means that we are more present within our bodies and the space around us. This helps to ease feelings of panic or despair. Practising grounding techniques regularly has been shown to have many benefits, such as improved mental health, circulation, reduced stress levels, improved sleep and even decreased levels of pain and inflammation.
