Body Scan For Children | Printable Mindfulness & Emotional Awareness Worksheet

📖 About this Resource

Help children and teenagers develop greater awareness of their body and emotions with this printable Body Scan For Children Worksheet. Designed by a Child and Young Person Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, this gentle mindfulness-based resource encourages young people to notice physical sensations, recognise signs of stress or tension, and understand how emotions can be experienced within the body.

Developing body awareness can help children identify early signs of overwhelm, anxiety or dysregulation, making it easier to recognise when they may benefit from using supportive coping strategies. This worksheet is suitable for use at home, in schools or during therapy sessions and can be adapted to meet individual sensory and communication needs.
