Children do not need to do all five. Sometimes one small cozy thing is enough.
Five cozy ideas from Mrs. Bramble
Something soothing
A favorite toy, blanket, book or something soft can bring familiar comfort.
A little treat
Something simple and appropriate, such as a warm drink, healthy snack or favorite small treat.
A kind person
Talk to a trusted parent, caregiver, teacher, family member or friend.
A little time
Rest, a calm activity or a good night's sleep can sometimes make a difficult feeling seem smaller.
For grown-ups
Comfort does not have to mean immediately fixing the feeling. A calm presence, familiar routine and a small choice can help a child feel secure enough to tell you what they need. Let them choose which cozy idea feels right.
Mrs. Bramble's reminder: “Kind little things can make a big difference.”
