Mindfulness & Relaxation
04 May 2020
Hi everyone,
Try these simple relaxation and mindfulness activities together and help your child learn to calm down when they feel stressed or anxious especially during times of change. Being able to recognise and cope with anxiety is a skill that will benefit children for life. Take 10 minutes at the start or end of your day, click on some of the videos, websites and calming sounds below and see which ones work for you, bringing calmness and happiness to your mind and body. Close your eyes, take deep breaths and listen to the calm music and sounds. I will continue to add more resources that I think might be helpful. Please feel free to share the things that help you to relax.
Lots of love
Mrs Chetty
