When teaching calming activities and de-escalation skills, it is important to include a program to teach those skills when the child/individual is already relatively calm. Some activities to focus on are aerobic activities (within the safety range that the child/individual's physician will approve), such as walking, and big bubble blowing activities (I say big bubbles because big bubbles require slow deep breathing), deep breathing, and sometimes just taking a safe break away from things/people. When these things are taught as a part of the overall program it makes it easier to access these skills in an emerging crisis situation if needed.
