This session will help kids regulate, play it for your little one when they are overwhelmed, stressed, or having a melt-down. It begins with slow calm breathing, followed by a progressive muscle relaxation, a check in for their needs, a 5,4,3,2,1 grounding. It ends with some positive self talk and affirmations.

Slow sighing nose breath.

Checking into their bodies needs.

Squeezing and relaxing each muscle in the body.

What can they feel, see, hear, taste, smell.

Positive self talk

Have a conversation with your child about how to regulate - discuss with them what you have noticed helps them and ask what they internally have noticed helping them.

When they do get overwhelmed, play this track and do it together - this will both act as a stop break, calming intervention, and help give them the skills necessary for self awareness and regulation in life.
