Description
Class Experience
In this ongoing class, we will alternate between activities that are more physically active that will challenge students’ focus and self-control, and activities that help children learn to relax their bodies and minds. This purposeful alternating will help students learn to slow back down after stimulating activities and grow their mental and emotional capabilities. After our introductions/icebreaker, there will be a total of four activities. At times we also discuss who is in charge of the...
This class is taught in English.
Students will improve their impulse control and gain relaxation techniques for overall increased emotional regulation and executive functioning skills.
I have been working with children with various diagnoses (ADHD, anxiety, etc) for over eight years, teaching them executive function and relaxation strategies in a way that they enjoy.
None. However, I will be providing handouts of the relaxation techniques that we used in each class. Students are encouraged to practice these on their own when they're feeling calm, making it easier for them to remember how to use them when needed. The more practiced the brain is, the better!
1 file available upon enrollmentDaily: Learners will need good space behind them to move safely. If possible, setting up the computer in a way so that I can see them head to toe (as much as possible -- I know this is challenging). Sometimes sitting on the floor works well. Week 1: Students will need an instrument or anything that creates sound (could be a pot and a spoon to use as a drum). Students will need a small stuffed animal or a soft object that can rest on their belly. Week 2: Your child will need something to color with, a sheet of blank paper, and a mandala of their choice from the provided file. If you don't have access to a printer, another piece of blank paper is okay, too. Weeks 3-7 No supplies are needed. After your child's last class, I will be providing handouts of the relaxation techniques that we used in each class. Students are encouraged to practice these on their own when they're feeling calm, making it easier for them to remember how to use them when needed. The more practiced the brain is, the better!
55 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
