Faith-Integrated Grounding Exercises for Tweens and Teens

Helping tweens and teens pause, breathe, and feel supported — with God’s presence alongside them.

When emotions feel big — stress, worry, anger, overwhelm — tweens and teens need more than reassurance. They need gentle tools that help their bodies slow down and their hearts feel supported.

This is a thoughtfully designed collection of full-page breathing and grounding practices that help young people pause, breathe, and remember that they are not alone — even when feelings feel messy or unsettled.

This resource integrates simple, body-based regulation techniques with Scripture in a way that is emotionally safe, developmentally appropriate, and deeply respectful of children’s inner experiences.

These exercises are not about forcing calm or “fixing” emotions.
They are about helping tweens and teens notice their breath, settle their bodies, and reconnect with God’s steady presence — right where they are.

What this resource supports

• Emotional regulation and self-soothing
• Grounding during anxiety, stress, anger, or overwhelm
• Body awareness and interoception
• Calm transitions at home, church, or school
• Preventative emotional wellbeing rooted in faith

What makes this resource different

• Full-page guided practices (not quick prompt cards)
• Trauma-aware, permission-based language
• Faith integrated gently, without pressure or performance
• Scripture offered as reassurance, not instruction
• Designed to work even when emotions don’t immediately change

Young people are invited to breathe, notice, and reflect — not to suppress feelings or “get it right.”
