Calming strategies and exercises are an important and fun way of teaching children how to calm their bodies successfully when they are feeling sad, upset, anxious, etc... The students at Carl Sandburg were taught the following exercises to support calming. These exercises are also a lot of fun to do right before bedtime or a potential stressful situation like going to the dentist.
Practicing these exercises when a child is not upset multiple times will help them become more automatic and increase the likelihood they are used independently. We hope you enjoy the following video and encourage you to practice and enjoy these fun ways to calm our bodies!
