This psycho-education toolkit for children & young people, is a beautiful, creative resource for any adult wanting to support children and young people to understand their survival behaviours. The animation, together with the child-friendly worksheets provided as part of this resource, provides a way to both understand and explore how children have learnt to manage stress, and how those ‘old’ coping strategies might be helped to calm. Watch our short video explaining this pack here.
The two-part animation uses beautiful imagery and children’s voices to tell the story of the Survival Animals inside all of us. In this story, you will meet:
Part One introduces each of these four relatable animal characters. The story helps children and families to understand how and why we each have survival behaviours, and how each of the survival animals work hard to keep us safe from danger.
Part Two introduces a new animal filled with wisdom and calmness – Orangutan. Orangutan has many ideas for how to tame the Survival Animals and she talks us through lots of techniques and strategies which help to calm the nervous system.
