🦋 A gentle reminder to slow down, breathe and open ourselves to the many possibilities of the present moment.

🍃If we shift from automatic reaction to conscious response, we can choose what to do next, rather than being driven by autopilot habits or immediate triggers.

Teaching emotion regulation is important because it helps children develop positive social skills, build resilience and improve their mental health. It gives them tools to cope with stress, navigate social situations and focus on learning.

These skills are essential for building self-esteem, making good decisions and managing behaviour effectively in both school and life.

Modelling good emotion regulation is the starting point for children because they learn emotional responses by observing and imitating the adults around them.

Children look to their role models to understand how to react to different emotions and stressful situations, so adults actions become their blueprint for emotional management

By seeing adults manage their own emotions in a healthy ways, children learn what those healthy strategies are and build a foundation for their own future self-regulation.

👶🧑‍🍼Babies and toddlers rely on their parents and caregivers to help them stay calm as their nervous system tunes into yours.

💚 One of my favourite practices when my own children were young was to pause feel my feet on the ground, have three slow breaths, in through the nose out through the mouth and finish with a smile.

😍A great practice for children too

BEFRIENDING OUR BREATH

🫁Our breath and our minds are intrinsically linked.

🧘‍♂️Not only can we manage our emotions with our breath, we can also change the way that we think.

😮‍💨Different breathing techniques work for different people so it is important to practice a few and find what works best for you.

🍃When teaching to children remember that their lungs are small and not fully formed so breathing techniques should feel natural and not forced.

☘️When introducing any technique, teach it as an exploration and leave time at the end for discussion.

🌿With box breathing, start by introducing breathing in and out without the hold and give the option to change the count,to one that feels natural.

Learn more breathing and mindfulness techniques in our next online course, starting October 8th.

Children don’t always have the words to explain how they’re feeling so anxiety often shows up in other ways. Some common signs include:

-☘️Physical symptoms such as stomach aches, headaches, or trouble sleeping.

☘️Changes in behaviour like irritability, withdrawal or clinginess.

🪾Difficulty concentrating in school, appearing restless or easily upset.

🌿Mindfulness can help manage anxiety by helping children to notice what they’re feeling in the present moment.

🍁Techniques such as box breathing, mindful movement and games that improve sensory awareness can all help when worries start to spiral.

🌿The start of a new school year is the perfect opportunity to support children in developing the resilience they’ll need to navigate the long autumn term.

🌈Raising children isn’t about shielding them from every bump on the road – it’s about equipping them with the tools to handle challenges with courage and confidence.

🌟Whether it’s a tough spelling test, a disagreement with a friend or the disappointment of a cancelled play date, every day experiences give children opportunities to build resilience.

🌿Research shows that resilience is not an inborn trait, but a skill children can develop with the right support.
