"I am happy to be able to stop and work out how I'm feeling, as I come into class each day. The booklet that we used most days was pretty great too". Another student who struggles with anxiety, quietly did this each day and read the cards thoughtfully. In discussion with this student, they commented that they had enjoyed them and the booklet would be helpful at home.
Which kit components were the most impactful and why?
For fun the mat was awesome and gave the kit a beautiful 'place' in our class. One student had experienced the kit at his primary school and was pleased we were doing it here. I think the follow-up cards were awesome but we had to remember to go over some of those to 'highlight them' The booklets were my favourite bit.
