Five of the most underrated coping skills:

  1. card stores
  2. bulletin boards
  3. kudos charts
  4. crafting
  5. dvds

I have a lot to say about each one of these, so I’m going to break them up into different posts.  However, I’d love to hear you feedback and any alternative or underrated coping skills that you might use.
