I would have them sit and breathe as I watch the time so that they can calm down and slow their minds down as well. Then I would ask them how it felt during that time (long, short, etc.) that way I can tie in how time is elastic and how it’s helpful to take a minute to breathe to reduce feelings of frustration, anxiety, overwhelmed, impulsivity, racing thoughts, and inattention. It typically allows them to think more clearly and takes away the pressure of time moving too quickly or too many tasks to complete in a limited amount of time.
