Full teaching script
  1. Today: Grounding with five senses. Our goal: Use the 5-4-3-2-1 method to steady worried thoughts.
  2. Take one idea at a time. Pause after each sentence; ask for repetition whenever you need it.
  3. Grounding brings your attention back to now. Notice five things you can see, four you can touch, three you can hear, two you can smell and one you can taste. Your brain is busy noticing, so worry has less room.
  4. Together: choose one example from the explanation and show how it works. What do you notice?
  5. Your turn: Try 5-4-3-2-1 and write down what you noticed.
  6. Reflect: what made sense, and what would you like explained differently?
