'What size is my problem?': Space-themed Worksheet
The ‘What size is my problem?’ has been designed to support children and young people with understanding peer conflict, big feelings, solving worries, and more!

- To scale our problems and worries to make them more manageable to tackle.
- To support conflict resolution.
- To support a child 1:1.
