This is something we use a lot in school from Reception up, it is a very simple way of being able to carry a safe space around with you.  Any time anxieties,negative emotions or situations become too much the safe space where no worries can follow is right there with you and can be found by simply closing your eyes.  It is created in their imagination and is unique and special to each child.  Many have already designed and use their safe space it can be a tree house, a magical island with unicorns and crystals to simply your bedroom.  Children have talked about a range of different situations where they use this skill from calming themselves when they have a nasty fall, helping them to fall asleep to controlling anger towards a sibling( this gets described a lot!)

To help your child develop their mindfulness skills and create their safe space New Horizon have a huge range of tools available on YouTube:
