Happy Monday Disney Students and Families! If you are looking for a fun craft to do from home this week, making Worry Stones requires minimal supplies and are ready to use after only 30 minutes! Worry Stones have been used since ancient Greece times to relieve stress, tension and anxiety. When rubbing the stones between our fingers or palms, it releases endorphins in our brain, creating a naturally calming and euphoric effect. Worry stones can also be used as a fidget for students who focus best when having something in their hand. What you will need:
Directions:
While your stones are baking in the oven, have a conversation with your child about when it is and isn't appropriate for them to be using their worry stone. Expectations may vary depending on the child. Worry Stones can be used when your child is feeling nervous or when they are feeling happy. I have been fidgeting with mine while sitting at my desk doing work and I love it!
**If your child is extremely escalated, it may be best to keep the worry stones out of their sight, so they don't try using it as a weapon.
