The worksheet first has a section for children to color which situations give them social anxiety, then they can think about what other emotions they experience when feeling anxious and finally they can think about what calming down strategies help them. The emotions and coping sections allow students to dig deeper to identify emotions like fear, sadness or embarrassment and helpful self-soothing techniques such as positive self-talk or focused breathing.
