You deserve a moment to pause and press play, and so do your kiddos! Welcome to the second episode of our series on mindfulness and going back to school. Our kids experience stress just as much as we do, and a lot of the time they are ill-equipped to handle it. Today, you’ll learn a new technique that you can introduce to your little ones to help them manage any anxiety they may be feeling about going back to school. This technique is called the Silent Sigh and helps us to release any excess emotion and reset our body and breath. Join us today to hear the simple steps you can follow to release your own stress and help your kiddos to do the same.
