Breathe & Learn with Laura

Todays BREATHE session was all about big emotions and sharing ideas of how we can self-regulate. Our fireworks are our big emotions firing up like our meerkat. Our crackling flames share self-regulation tools we find helpful. 🔥🎆🎇

🍃BREATHE - Helping Children Feel Happier, Calmer & More Confident🍃

After 20 years as a primary teacher, I’ve worked with children who find school and life tough — and I’ve always loved helping them overcome challenges.

As both a teacher and mum of two very different kids (one whom has autism and is quiet and worries, one outgoing and confident), I see first-hand how unique every child is. Every child, no matter their personality or needs, experiences big emotions. This helps me understand, support, and never judge.

Combining my personal experiences and emotional literacy training, my BREATHE sessions help children and families understand feelings, manage emotions, and build confidence.

✨ My passion is making learning and life easier, calmer, and more fun for children.

✨ All feelings are OK — we just need the tools to manage them.

🌿Let’s help your child feel happier and ready to thrive. 🌿

Totally agree and our worries shouldn’t be put on our children, let them be kids. But we also need them to experience some storms to be able to build resilience, or what will they do when we’re not there to protect them?

Our children need us to shield them from life’s storms, offering them a sense of security. While we face challenges, it’s crucial to keep their world safe and full of joy. Let’s protect their innocence while they navigate the world. How do you offer protection to your children emotionally? ☔💖

Week 1 of new block. Lovely to see some new and returning faces!
Today we were learning about meerkat moments and how breathing can help to bring our meerkat back down. We made breathing ghosts to use as tools to help 👻👻

At BREATHE sessions we learn and share different strategies or tools that we can use to help ourselves feel calm. Here’s some lovely posters these children made for their bedrooms as reminders of what helps them ☺️

Place value models to help learn the value of digits within bigger numbers.

Learning can be fun through active tasks and games to help numbers and maths concepts make more sense 😊

Math grades and advanced skills are great, but emotional intelligence and stress management are what truly matter in life. We must teach our kids how to cope with emotions, resolve conflicts, and handle pressure. These skills will serve them better than any grade. 💡🌸
