About the Free Printable ABC Grounding Technique for Kids
This one page printable outlines a simple grounding technique using the alphabet.
In this technique, the child looks around them to identify and name objects that they can see and hear that start with each letter of the alphabet (or as many letters of the alphabet as possible before they feel calm and grounded). They don't have to go in the order of the alphabet (unless, of course, they want to).
You could also laminate this printable and then encourage your child to cross off each letter with a dry erase marker as they name something that starts with that letter.
