I learned that taking a deep breath and talking to someone could help maybe even standing up for your self could help.
Some things I learned from the book is that if you just calm down and take a few breathes, then it would be less scary or difficult on what you are doing.
The thing that was the most difficult for Andrew was the panic attack in art because that was his worst fear to have a panic attack at school. He had hit his teacher, his favorite teacher. And there is another example that some people would use. His grandma going missing and not being able to find her. Plus, another thing that Andrew has to deal with today.
I think that the worst part of Andrew’s day was probably when he found out that his grandma had went missing, because with everything else going on that day it just topped it all off and led to him haveing a terrible panic attack at school.
I learned that drawing out your feelings could help someone with anxiety
Andrew has anxiety and is really nervous about school picture day and wants to make it perfect for his mom on the first day on her job.
I learned that sometimes to calm down you could draw out your feeling and take breaths
What I’ve learn to help keep anxiety is that taking a break from things. Then take a few deep breaths. After that person does that then you can draw at your feelings
2. I learned to take deep breaths and think happy thoughts to help me through.
One way that you could relive stress is by doing the box method. The box method is where you breathe in for 4 seconds hold for 4 seconds breathe out for 4 seconds then hold for 4 seconds. That’s what his therapist said to do when he got too stressed.
