Grounding Exercise for Kids and Teens (Outdoors)

Grounding is a coping skill and relaxation exercise that we can practice anywhere, anytime to focus on the present moment rather than our worries, which helps calm our bodies and minds. Grounding exercises can improve concentration, decrease anxiety, and enhance decision-making and problem-solving skills.

We can’t control everything that happens to our kids, but we can teach them—at any age—to be resilient in the face of life’s ups and downs. With Raising Resilience, we're giving caregivers tips and tools to proactively build resilience in kids—all from our Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Strong4Life behavioral and mental health experts.
