Dealing with Separation (Young Kids)

(bright upbeat music) Headspace is here to help kids and families show their mind some love. It's time to take a breather. (bright upbeat music) Who do you miss most and why? I miss my granny, because I miss sleeping over at her house and staying up late. So yeah, I miss her a lot. When I think of the people I miss most, I feel? I feel sad and mad. I felt sad. I didn't get to see my friends and family. When I think of people that I miss the most, I think I feel sad and kind of mad, because I don't get to see them. Does that sound like you? That feeling of missing can make you really sad, frustrated, or even angry. We've all had a tough time not being able to see the people we care about every day and whatever you're feeling during this time is okay. Here are some tools to help you when you're missing people that you care about. First, practice self kindness and loving kindness. Self kindness is helpful when you recognize that you're having difficult feelings like anger, sadness, or worry. Instead of trying to get rid of the feelings right away, it's helpful to meet your difficult feelings with kindness and care. You can try saying gentle words to your feelings like, "This is hard and I'm not alone. There are many people who care about me and who can help me. And so many people are missing people they love right now, so I'm really not alone." Give it a try, experts. This is really hard. This is really hard. I'm not alone. I'm not alone. I am not alone. I am not alone. So many people are missing people that they love right now. So many people are missing people they love right now. So many people are missing the people that they love right now. A lot of people. (bright upbeat music) Send friendly wishes. When you're missing someone or wishing you could see your friends and family, you can send friendly wishes to yourself and the person that you miss. You can close your eyes or keep them open and imagine the person you miss feeling happy, healthy, and peaceful. And imagine what they may be doing that makes them feel that way. Then you can send them your wishes by saying silently or out loud, "May you be happy, may you be healthy, and may you be peaceful." Emotion experts, can you show us how it's done? I'm gonna send friendly wishes to my mom. I miss my cousin, Poppy, and my cousin, Jemima. They live in Bristol and I wish to send friendly wishes to them. One of my cousins. His name's Berkeley. Berkeley, may you feel happy, healthy, and peaceful. Sending friendly wishes to all of my friends from my class last year at school. So I said granny and nana. May you feel happy, healthy, and peaceful. Exactly, you...
