Relaxation for Kids
Do you find your students or children are more stressed today than you were when you were that age? This is a common concern of both teachers and parents.
Relaxation for Kids can be taught as a one day program or as a 4 session series for about 45 min each. The program is customized to fit each group's needs. The kids and chaperoning adults will practice things like deep breathing, muscle relaxation, and laughter yoga. These techniques are very helpful in decreasing anxiety, handling every day stress, and getting a good nights rest.
Relaxation Techniques ~ as a one time event
This
is an hour long program where the youth and chaperoning adults are
taught a few relaxation techniques that they can incorporate into their
daily school, work, and home life. I customize the teaching to fit
your groups age and needs. $75, travel costs may be added
for areas outside the Fox Valley.
Relaxation Techniques ~ as an after school program for students
This is a 4 week program where I teach a group of up to 25 students
3rd grade and up approximately 9-10 different techniques they can
use to calm their nerves and refocus before tests, when they are
feeling angry, or after an experience that upset them. This
program has already been taught to 3rd - 6th graders at the Odyssey
Charter School in Appleton (Fall 2006) and within the New London
School System (Spring 2008) with positive feedback from the students and
parents. Cost is $300 plus $3 per child for supplies; Program is
customizable to fit each groups needs and does not need to be 4
weeks/$300, contact me if interested and we can determine what is
best for your situation/group.
Laughter Yoga can also be done as a stand alone activity. Laughter yoga does incorporate a few breathing and stretching techniques.
